MCS Umbrella Scheme
The MCS Umbrella Scheme is a specific initiative within the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) framework. It allows smaller companies or independent installers, to operate under the certification and quality management system of a larger, already certified entity such as, Q-Smart.
This scheme is particularly beneficial in expanding the reach and availability of high-quality renewable energy installations by supporting smaller businesses and ensuring that more installers can meet the MCS standards, whilst offering peace of mind for homeowners.

The umbrella scheme is designed to help smaller installation companies and individual installers who may not have the resources to achieve MCS accreditation and certification independently. By operating under the umbrella of a larger, certified organisation, they can offer MCS-certified installations.
