MCS Data Dashboard

What it contains

Interactive dashboards over the MCS Installations Database: certified small-scale renewable installations from 2009 onward, filterable by month, year, location, technology type (ASHP, GSHP, exhaust air, solar PV, solar thermal, biomass, wind, battery) and installation type (new build/retrofit, domestic/commercial). Split into Installation Insights and Scheme Insights.

Caveats

Scope caps: <=50kWe electrical, <=45kWth heat (up to 70kWth for multi-product heat pump systems) - so it structurally EXCLUDES commercial-scale GSHP and all deep geothermal. 2008 installations excluded. Per-visual export only; no bulk.
