3 — Coverage gap: the three regions with the fewest installers

Honesty note: this is a raw count ranking, not a per-capita one. We do not publish a per-capita figure here because we are not republishing an official ONS population table verbatim on this page. The raw bottom-three is still the cleanest defensible signal of where buyer choice is thinnest.

4 — Trading status: commercial-only vs commercial + residential

From the services field on each OZEV record. A firm is counted as “commercial-only” when its OZEV entry lists commercial work but not residential.

Commercial + Residential	1075

Trading status	Installers	Share
Commercial only	61	5.4%
Commercial + Residential	1075	94.6%

5 — Methodology

The dataset is the public GOV.UK OZEV authorised-installer register, queried across a UK-wide postcode grid and de-duplicated on a normalised name + postcode key. Records keep only installers that list commercial work. Full pipeline and refresh cadence on the methodology page. The raw JSON used to build this page is at /data/installers.json.

6 — Caveats & known limitations of the OZEV register

The OZEV register is a list of authorised installers — it does not certify capacity, current trading status or recent project history.
Region is taken from each installer's listed postcode. A national installer with a single registered office appears once, in that office's region, even if they work UK-wide.
Postcode-area counts measure where installers are registered, not where they have completed installations.
The register is refreshed by GOV.UK on its own cadence; this snapshot reflects what was visible on the date stamped above.
“Commercial-only” vs “commercial + residential” reflects what each firm has elected to advertise via OZEV, not the actual mix of work delivered.
