Welcome to EPVS...
EPVS is an independent certification standard that verifies the processes used by installers to ensure that energy-saving, generation, and storage calculations, as well as savings estimates for home energy products, are based on approved industry methodologies and are accurate and reliable.
Our goal is to protect consumers from receiving misleading performance projections, cost estimates, and, where applicable, income from incentives or grants by thoroughly reviewing and auditing contractual documentation to ensure it meets our rigorous certification standard, thereby protecting lenders and installers from potential mis-selling claims.
