Hi
We are a fully approved NICEIC electrical contractor as well as being an NICEIC approved domestic installer, who have been asked by one of our customers if we can carry out the final connections and issue certification (Domestic Electrical Installation Certificate and G83/1 certificate) for solar pv installations in domestic premises for them. They are an MCS accredited company doing heat pump and solar pv installations but their own electrician is leaving and rather than employing another electrician themselves they are asking us if we can do this for them. They are installing all of the panels and inverters etc... themselves.
Do we, as an NICEIC approved contractor, need to be MCS accredited to do these final connections into the consumer unit and issue certification, or does our NICEIC approval allow us to do this? I know there would be no problem for us issuing the Domestic Installation Certificate for the new circuit from the consumer unit to the inverter as this is normal, but it's the G83/1 (Appendix 2 Certificate) I'm not sure about.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
