Who Are the Main Regulators?
Micro generation Certification Scheme (MCS)
The MCS is the official certification of solar products and installation in the UK. Systems offered by only MCS-certified installers are those that can claim government grants. It encompasses the vehicle charge panels up to the entire package of kits inclusive of the battery and inverters.
Local Building Authorities
Particular installations, as on panels in conservation areas, or on flat roofs, must be approved by building-regulations. Local governments examine building standards, fire policies and planning.
Ofgem
Ofgem checks the compliance of the generation of energy and grids. It precles that home and business that supply electricity to the grid have correct or fair export tariffs and metering.
Protecting Homeowners and Businesses through Regulation
Safety first. When the installation is done properly, it will help avoid any electrical faults and fires. Countries have protective measures like bird guards or mesh that would ensure that panels of buildings are in excellent condition and are also free to get air.
- Better performance: Managing systems remain effective in every situation- even during a summer day in the sun or during a cloudy winter season.
- Financial benefit: The UK grants are only eligible in regulated installations and this assists in the cost of the panels and the battery.

Is it possible to trust any solar panel company?
Not every company is controlled. Others provide panels at cheap prices, or availability of DIY kits, but such systems are potentially unsafe (e.g. with a bad choice of wiring or mounting) and will perform less successfully in the long run. MCS certification must always be checked prior to committing.
