Can I Sell Excess Energy Back to the Grid?

Yes, if you generate more electricity than you use—such as with solar PV panels—you can sell the excess energy back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme in the UK. Under SEG, energy suppliers pay you for each unit of electricity you export from your renewable system.

To benefit, you’ll need a smart meter or export meter installed, and your system must meet certain eligibility criteria. Payments and rates vary by supplier, so it’s a good idea to compare offers to get the best deal.

Our team can help you understand how SEG works, check your eligibility, and guide you through the setup process so you can start earning from your renewable energy system.
