Episode 6: The Move to get the Solar PV Market Moving


Listen Later

We welcome back Graham Hendra, founder of ABC Heat Pumps, to talk about Octopus Energy’s move to open up the Solar PV market.

In this episode, we discuss the change Octopus Energy has made to its Smart Export Guarantee and how this could potentially open the door for trained installers without MCS Certification to access the Solar Market. 

The MCS delivers a valuable benchmark for professionalism and quality in the sector, but is it hindering the growth of the market? We discuss how the new change could potentially remove obstructions, enabling competent installers to enter the solar industry and alleviate the backlog of renewable technology installations.
