What does MCS certification mean to me?
Owners of the R9000 in the UK are eligible to receive the Feed-in Tariff - income for generating renewable energy (introduced in April 2010).
The MCS accreditation is a formal recognition of the durability, reliability, safety and overall performance of the R9000, which provides customers with confidence in the turbine.
The R9000 turbine performed exceptionally, passing all MCS criteria and well exceeded the requirements of the durability test, to obtain MCS Approved Product certification.
