Read study →About these studies
The studies use the same commercial source dataset and offer complementary views of its records. They are not independent estimates of the UK installer population. Numerical findings load from the latest available analysis; the written methods remain available before those results load.
When citing a figure, retain its aggregate download and snapshot citation. Historical comparisons need dated source versions and consistent counting rules.
