About
What is EPVS?
EPVS was founded to facilitate the market – supporting installers to generate more sales by increasing consumer confidence and bringing lenders back to the green economy.
The Scheme is a comprehensive certification standard designed to ensure the integrity and accuracy of energy-saving, renewable generation, and battery storage calculations provided by installers for home energy products. By verifying that processes and documentation meet strict industry standards, and validating each individual sale, EPVS helps protect consumers, uphold the reputation of installers, and promote responsible practices within the energy industry.
When and Why Was EPVS Launched?
EPVS was established in 2016 in response to growing concerns about inconsistent and misleading performance estimates shared with consumers for renewable energy solutions such as solar PV, heat pumps, and energy storage systems, which forced many finance lenders to pull out of the market. Recognising the need for a trusted industry standard, EPVS was created to promote transparency, accuracy, and accountability across the sector.
The scheme aims to combat mis-selling, which is often accidental, and improve consumer confidence by ensuring that performance and savings estimations are based on validated data, preventing false expectations and potential disputes or claims.

We shall, at all times and in all decision making, try to ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients and consumers in every action we take.
Develop colleagues
We will seek opportunities (at least annually) to identify employee training needs (and wants) and wherever possible and practicable, provide time and resource to accommodate these needs (and wants).
Act with humility and honesty, demonstrate enthusiasm and positivity
We will only employ, and continue to employ, employees and engage with suppliers who display openly the personal characteristics of humility, honesty, enthusiasm, respect, positivity and a ‘can do’ attitude.
Foster a shared culture / values with external parties
