Kitemark Scheme for Microgeneration
Included in the Kitemark scheme for these products is full MCS certification - BSI is now a UKAS accredited certification body to assess under MCS. Consumers who use installers and technologies certified to MCS may be eligible for Clean Energy Cash Back Incentives (Feed-In Tariffs). Feed-In Tariffs provide guaranteed payments to individuals, businesses and communities for small-scale electricity generation.
By achieving Kitemark certification you can step ahead of your competitors and soon gain not only the MCS certification but the prestigious, unrivalled and trusted Kitemark certification - a real benefit to you, your company and your customers.
