Homeowners are saving hundreds through the government's VAT cut and Smart Export Guarantee

What's happening?

  1. Homeowners can save hundreds on upfront solar costs, as the UK Government has cut VAT on solar panels to 0% 1
  2. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows homeowners to earn up to £160/year by selling excess energy back to the grid 2
  3. Millions of Brits are acting fast to claim these savings and SEG payments in 2025

Many Brits don’t realise that they could be saving money on their energy bills with solar panels.

Even in the UK’s sometimes gloomy weather, savvy homeowners are able to make these savings because photovoltaic solar panels are simply dependent on daylight – not on hours of sunshine.

The cost of solar panels has tumbled more than 30% in the past few years.3 This has significantly reduced the upfront cost of solar for people across the UK.

You can also earn by exporting solar energy back to the grid

  • Through the Smart Export Guarantee Scheme, big energy suppliers will pay you for every unit of renewable energy you feed back.
  • With the best SEG rate currently around 27p per kWh, an average home with solar panels can earn up to £160 a year through the scheme. 2

Homeowners with solar are already taking advantage of the scheme and locking in their SEG payments for 2025

Solar: The Future Of Cheap Energy
