Ian Rippin, CEO at MCS, has commented on the MCS heat pump data for August.
Ian said: “The latest MCS data shows that heat pumps continue to be installed in record numbers. As of the end of August 2024, average monthly heat pump installations have increased by 39% compared to 2023, which was itself a record- breaking year for the technology. Heat pump installations so far in 2024 currently stand at 36,425, meaning we’re 93% of the way to the best year ever for heat pumps.
“Battery storage is another technology that is seeing a record number of installations. There have now been more than 16,000 certified battery storage installations of all-time, with over 11,000 being installed in 2024 alone. Whilst solar PV is not breaking any records, installations are maintaining a steady pace with 13,237 solar PV installations in August 2024, bringing the 2024 total to over 108,000.”
