Smart Export Guarantee

Get paid for the electricity you export.

Your panels will often make more power than you use. Because we are MCS certified, your installation qualifies for the Smart Export Guarantee, which means your energy supplier pays you for every unit you send to the grid.

Add a battery and smart export tariffs go further still. Tariffs such as Octopus Flux are built for homes with solar and storage: they charge you less to import at quiet times and pay you a premium to export in the early evening peak, when the grid wants your power most.

We register your Smart Export Guarantee paperwork as part of every install, and we will help you choose the export tariff that fits your kit and your supplier.

Export rates, tariff eligibility and battery compatibility are set by each supplier and vary, so we cannot promise a fixed figure.

Owning it well

Your tariff matters as much as your roof.

Two identical systems can earn very different amounts. The difference is the tariff behind the meter and the habits in front of it. Here is a typical day, and how to run it well.

solar generation your usage surplus charges the battery covers the evening peak 6am midday 6pm

Pick the tariff that fits.

Once solar is in, the tariff you sat on before may not be the best one. Cheaper off-peak units can suit a battery home, and export rates differ widely between suppliers. We talk you through the options in plain language at handover.

Run the big loads in daylight.

Dishwasher, washing machine, chargers: time them for when the panels are generating and you buy fewer units back from the grid in the evening.

Let the battery do the shifting.

It stores your daytime surplus and spends it through the evening peak, when grid electricity costs the most. That is the quiet work in the chart above.

Check it once a year.

Tariffs move. A quick yearly look keeps the system earning what it should, and we are a phone call away in Kent if you want a second opinion.

Tariff availability and rates are set by each supplier and change over time.

Common questions

Straight answers before you commit to anything.

How much does solar cost?

A panel only system starts at £4,150 and a large system with maximum battery storage is £14,100. The calculator above shows the exact price for your setup before anyone visits. Prices are fixed at survey, with no hidden extras.

How long does installation take?

Most domestic installations are completed in one to two days on site. Scaffolding usually goes up a day or two beforehand and comes down shortly after.

What does MCS certified mean for me?

MCS is the national standard for solar installation. It means the work is independently audited, and it is what makes your home eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee, where your energy supplier pays you for electricity you send to the grid.

Is my roof suitable?

Most pitched roofs are. South facing is ideal but east and west facing roofs still perform well. The calculator accounts for your roof direction and shading, and the free survey confirms everything before you commit.

Is battery storage worth adding?

It depends on how you use electricity. A battery stores your spare daytime generation for the evening, which suits most working households. The calculator shows your saving with and without battery so you can compare directly.

Which export tariff should I choose?

Any Smart Export Guarantee tariff will pay you for exported units, and smart tariffs such as Octopus Flux can pay solar and battery homes better rates by timing when you buy and sell. Rates, eligibility and battery compatibility are set by each supplier, so we advise on the best fit for your kit at survey and sort the paperwork after installation.

What happens after installation?

You get your MCS certificate, warranty documents and Smart Export Guarantee paperwork. The panels carry a 25 year product warranty and we are a phone call away in Kent if you ever need us.
