Every MCS-accredited installation comes with a certificate that includes a headline SCOP figure for your system. On paper, this is meant to give an indication of efficiency, but as we all know, real-world performance can often be quite different.
I’m really interested to get a sense of how these figures stack up in practice. Could you please share the SCOP figure listed on your certificate and how that compares with your actual performance (seasonal COP, monitoring data, etc.)?
