August 07, 2025

A RECORD number of solar panels, batteries and heat pumps have been installed in UK homes and buildings in the first six months of 2025, figures show.

Data from MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme), the quality mark for small-scale renewables, found there were more than 172,000 certified installations between January and June this year.

That is up 37% from the same period in 2024 and a third above the previous record high start to the year, in 2023, the figures show.

The MCS said the jump in installations was being driven by three technologies: solar panels, electric heat pumps and battery storage.

The top technology is solar panels, with 123,000 certified installations in the first six months of 2025 - a record that breaks the previous January-to-June high set in 2012.
