Our certification scheme is designed to ensure that only the best, most responsible installers are recognised. But what does this mean in practical terms for your business? Read on, to find out why choosing a quality-led certification will help your business to flourish.
The pillars of quality in the Flexi-Orb certification scheme
#1 - Market-leading Installer Assessments
Installers undergo both a head office business management and on-site technical assessments covering all the technologies that they have applied to be certified for.
These assessments are designed around quality management systems and the IET Codes of Practice to drive down risk and improve operational performance. By achieving the Flexi-Orb standard, you not only ensure high technical quality but also future-proof your business by implementing sustainable improvements.
#2 - Rigorous Competency Requirements
To obtain certification, installers must demonstrate competence by evidencing in-date qualifications supplemented by in-house and manufacturer training courses. Certified installers must have the competency and capacity, whether in-house or subcontracted, to undertake the design, installation, commissioning, and handover of Solar PV systems, electrical energy storage systems (EESS), and EV charging points (EVCP).
#3 - Ongoing Training & Development
Quality is not a one-time achievement. Certified installer companies must maintain competence records for each individual, document ongoing training, and ensure skills and knowledge remain up to date through continuous professional development (CPD). Installers must also review training needs at least annually, adapting to regulatory and technological changes.
#4 - Consumer Protection & Compliance
#5 - Clear, Transparent Certification Process
Why quality matters more than ever
Substandard installations damage consumer confidence and can lead to costly rectifications. With the increasing demand for renewables, maintaining high standards is key to a sustainable, reputable, and profitable business. By working with Flexi-Orb, you align yourself with a certification scheme that prioritises quality, integrity, and the long-term success of its installers.
