Another record month for certified small-scale renewables
Posted: Friday, June 20th, 2025
Last month was the best May for small-scale renewables in MCS history, with almost 30,000 certified installations across the UK, following on from the best April on record. Figures from the MCS Data Dashboard indicate that there were over 5,100 certified heat pump installations in May, as households continue to transition to low-carbon heating, driven by initiatives such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). It also achieved the milestone of 300,000 all-time heat pump installations last month. Ian Rippin, CEO at MCS, said: “Solar PV saw over 21,100 certified installations in May - a 30% increase on May 2024 - taking us past 100,000 total installations in the year so far.” May 2025 was also the best month on record for battery storage, surpassing the previous record established in March of this year, with nearly 3,400 certified installations. This represents a 112% increase from May 2024. He added: “It's great to see us reaching crucial milestones in 2025 in the small-scale renewables sector, a positive sign that consumer confidence in home-grown energy is continuing to grow. “While this momentum continues, and as we aim to transition to the redeveloped MCS, our priority is to ensure that installations are delivered to a high standard and that consumers have the best possible experience when investing in renewable energy.”
