Octopus Energy is at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution, offering solar panel solutions that help you save money while reducing your carbon footprint. With their Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariffs, you can even earn money from your excess solar power. Plus, you can take advantage of the Octopus refer a friend discount to save even more.
Octopus Energy supports customers with solar panels through a combination of installation partners and competitive export tariffs. Many households install solar panels independently and then choose Octopus to handle export payments for excess electricity.
Octopus is particularly popular with solar‑and‑battery owners due to its smart export tariffs, which can pay higher rates for electricity exported back to the grid during peak periods.
If you generate more electricity than you use, Octopus Energy offers export tariffs under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). These tariffs pay you for each unit of electricity exported back to the grid.
Some Octopus export tariffs are fixed, while others are smart tariffs that vary based on market demand. Battery owners may benefit from exporting electricity during higher‑priced periods.
