MCS paperwork is half the installation.

Your project management software handles scheduling and procurement. Nobody handles the compliance trail MCS and the DNO expect: installation certificates, G98/G99 notifications, commissioning records, EPC updates. SolarPad handles all of it.

4,800

MCS-certified solar installers in the UK. Every installation requires an MCS certificate, DNO notification, and commissioning record. Miss any and the customer cannot claim the Smart Export Guarantee.

SEG

Customers need a valid MCS certificate to claim Smart Export Guarantee payments. A missing or late certificate means the customer loses income and calls you every week.

DNO

G98 and G99 notifications to the Distribution Network Operator are mandatory. Miss the notification and the DNO can require disconnection. The installer is responsible.

Without SolarPad

  • MCS certificates filed weeks after installation, delaying customer SEG applications
  • DNO G98/G99 notifications forgotten or filed late
  • Commissioning records completed on paper and lost in the van
  • EPC updates not triggered after installation
  • MCS audit preparation takes a full day of document hunting

With SolarPad

  • MCS certificate workflow built into installation completion. Filed before you leave site
  • DNO notification tracking with submitted and acknowledged stages
  • Digital commissioning records per installation, searchable and exportable
  • EPC update reminders triggered automatically after each installation
  • MCS audit self-assessment with evidence from live data

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace my project management software?

No. Your project management software handles scheduling and procurement. SolarPad handles the compliance documentation your PM software does not touch: MCS certificates, DNO notifications, commissioning, and audit prep.

Does it work for battery storage too?

Yes. SolarPad tracks battery installations alongside solar. Commissioning records, MCS certificates, and DNO notifications all cover battery storage.

Can I use it on site?

Yes. SolarPad is mobile-first. Record installation data and file certificates from your phone on the roof.

Can I export my data?

Yes. CSV and PDF export on all plans. Your data is yours. Cancel any month and take everything with you.
