Cut your electricity bills and get paid for what you export — with 0% VAT and the Smart Export Guarantee. Typical cost: £5,000 – £11,000. Grants and eligibility differ by UK nation and income — pick your town below or use the form to see what applies to you.
Free, no obligation. We match you with vetted MCS-certified local installers.
There is no universal solar grant, but you pay 0% VAT (until 2027), get paid for exported power via the Smart Export Guarantee, and low-income households may get free/subsidised solar through ECO4, Warm Homes (England), Nest (Wales) or Home Energy Scotland. See the guide for details.
A typical home system runs £5,000–£11,000 depending on size. 0% VAT saves around £1,300 on a 4kW system. Compare at least two MCS-certified quotes.
SEG pays you for surplus electricity you export to the grid — roughly 3–20p per kWh, depending on your supplier. You need MCS-certified panels and a smart meter.
