Why accreditations matter
For UK commercial solar carport projects, accreditations are not optional. Most public-sector procurement (PSDS, Salix, Crown Commercial Service frameworks, NHS SBS) requires MCS + NICEIC + TrustMark + CHAS as a minimum. Most large corporate procurement (£500k+ projects) requires the same plus ISO 14001 evidence.
We hold all the above as standard. We do not subcontract MCS or NICEIC certification to third parties — every project we deliver carries our own certification numbers on the handover documentation.
