Compare export tariffs to find the best rates

If you’ve got solar panels, make sure you’re getting the best rates for the electricity you export back to the grid. Some energy suppliers offer far better rates than others, so it’s key you get the best deal.

When you got your solar panels installed matters

There are two main schemes when it comes to earning money from your solar panels.

  • The Feed-In Tariff (FIT) – which ran between 2010 and 2019, and paid you for generating and exporting electricity
  • The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) – which started in 2020, and pays you for exporting electricity

…

It’s worth noting the two schemes didn’t overlap – the FIT ended in April 2019, while the SEG started in January 2020, but anyone that had panels installed during this gap can still get the SEG.
