Hi

I’m in the process of registering for mcs. I’ve done pv and battery course and done a fair amount of solar and battery installs.

As part of mcs you need to consider roof loads for basic roofs like a truss roof you don’t need a structural engineer and they give you figures for the calculations. Am I correct in thinking I can just use easy pv to do this calculation if I put in correct figures. Or would they expect me to have a more in depth knowledge on this subject.

Thanks

Hi Dave,
I have a solar company and my MCS visit is in September. I never knew I needed to understand roof loads, so I will have to learn. Are you MCS yet
