Why Choosing an MCS Battery Installer Matters
Solar Voltaics is now officially recognised as an MCS battery installer, which means our battery storage installations are certified to the same high standards as our MCS solar PV work. Many homeowners and businesses look for reassurance when choosing a battery storage installer, and MCS certification is one of the strongest quality marks in the UK.
Working with an MCS battery installer helps ensure your system is safe, compliant and designed for long term performance. This article explains what the certification means and how it benefits customers considering solar and battery storage.
What Is an MCS Battery Installer
An MCS battery installer is a company accredited under the MCS Battery Storage Standard (MIS 3012). This certification confirms that the installer meets all technical and quality requirements for designing and installing battery storage systems in the UK.
Solar Voltaics has installed battery storage for many years alongside our solar PV services. Adding battery storage to our MCS scope simply provides formal certification for work we already carry out to a high standard.
Why Working With an MCS Battery Installer Is Important
Certified safety and compliance
Battery systems must be installed safely and in line with industry standards. Working with an MCS battery installer gives customers confidence that the installation is compliant and professionally managed.
As OFGEM explains in its guidance on battery storage, choosing a qualified and accredited installer is essential for ensuring systems are installed safely and operate as intended.
Better system design and performance
Certified installers must demonstrate competence in system design, sizing and commissioning. This helps ensure your battery performs efficiently and reliably over its lifetime.
Eligibility for tariffs and warranties
Some export tariffs, insurance policies and manufacturer warranties prefer or require installation by an MCS certified company. Being an MCS battery installer helps ensure customers have access to the widest range of options.
Clear and recognised industry standards
MCS certification provides a benchmark for quality. Choosing an accredited installer simplifies decision-making for homeowners and businesses.

Why Battery Storage Is Growing in the UK
The demand for certified battery installers is increasing because battery storage provides clear benefits:
- Higher self-consumption of solar energy
- Reduced evening and night-time grid usage
- Potential backup capability depending on configuration
- Protection from rising energy prices
- Greater control over energy flows
As more homes and businesses adopt solar PV, battery storage is becoming an essential upgrade.
