"When speaking of solar panel funding in the UK, the two most commonly mentioned schemes are the Feed-in Tariff and the Smart Export Guarantee.  The Feed-in Tariff closed at the end of 2019 and isn’t available for new registrations. It provided both a generation and an export tariff for low carbon energy technologies, including solar panels.  The Feed-in Tariff was no longer deemed necessary because solar panel prices have fallen so sharply that they are far more affordable.  After the FIT closed, the Smart Export Guarantee came into play from the 1st of January 2020. Just like the FIT, the SEG offers tariffs for various renewable energy technologies.  The main difference between the two is that the SEG only offers an export tariff - so if your panels have generated a surplus of electricity you can sell that back to the national grid at a small profit.  The export tariff varies with each energy supplier and isn’t as strictly regulated as the FIT tariffs were, so it’s important to compare suppliers and what they offer. A good export tariff is anything from 4 to 6 pence per kilowatt hour.   With the SEG, you could earn up to &#163;80 per year by exporting your extra energy back to the grid.  The terms and conditions of grants can change at any time, so for the latest information about the Smart Export Guarantee, including how to apply, check out our article on GreenMatch   The link is in the description below!"
