I've had a solar job that the customer has pulled out of. Are their any sites/companies that can help with attaining the leads for accreditation purposes. I'm in the East Midlands Area.

Since 1st Feb this has changed. You are now required to register the advance payment and, in QANW's case, pay £26.50 to cover both the deposit and the Warranty period. You must not sell this insurance to the client or advise on its suitability, as you are not registered to do so with the FSA.

So what happens where you don't take a deposit? you don't require the deposit protection ergo the insurance is not a mandatory facility to provide, if one is not allowed to sell it..?

I can't help with finding you a customer, but it may be worth me mentioning that since December 2011 any company that enters into a contract with a domestic client must be MCS Certified. If the company is not entering into the contract with the client, but is passing you a lead, then you are required to ensure that they have followed the REAL Code. All installation companies should be aware, that if they issue the MCS Certificate then they are responsible for the whole process, installation and sales.

This has only come in a couple of weeks ago, the advice we are giving is that you should still register the installation with QANW or your own insurer so that the warranty side is covered.
