installers

The Solar Skills London project, which provides funding for training in solar PV, energy storage and low carbon technologies, has extended the deadline for applications.

The MCS has launched its new battery installation standard, detailing requirements for MCS certified installers who supply, design and install electrical energy storage or battery systems.

The government didn’t sufficiently understand the challenges facing installers as part of the Green Homes Grant, having failed to learn from its own previous energy schemes.

An accredited course for installers on how to specify and fit battery storage is now on offer as part of a partnership between AceOn and GTEC.

SolarEdge is launching its 100kW three phase inverter with synergy technology, designed to improve the profitability of larger PV installations, in the UK.

Battery storage, electric vehicle (EV) charging and related smart tech are to be the focus of new training and apprenticeships launched by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan in partnership with Solar Energy UK.

An additional £300 million of funding for domestic energy efficiency upgrades has been announced, marking an extension of the Local Authority Delivery of the Green Homes Grant.

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is to consult on a new route for installer certification.

Of the 100,000 new jobs to result from the Green Homes Grant, only 14,500 of these have been created to date.

The Chancellor has been sent a further letter urging him to fully rollover unspent Green Homes Grant funding into 2021/22.
