I hear a lot of negativity about the MCS scheme with a lot of installers saying that PV is dead, homeowners don't want it installed since the drop in FiTs and the industry is in decline.
Look at the following facts (stats coming from OFGEM)
MCS Registered Domestic PV Installations for period of 1st May to 12th June:
2011 - 10,611 installations
2012 - 15,057 installations
This shows an increase of 50% more installations even after the FiTs have dropped from 43.3p/kWh
MCS Registered PV installers for period of 1st May to 12th June (estimated at 80% of total installers):
2011 - 2,118 installers
2012 - 3,436 installers
The 2012 figure means that those 3,436 installers on average installed 4 installs per month! Depending on where you buy your kit, there can still be some money to be earned from domestic PV installations.
