Boost your export earnings by over £110*
You already save money by using the solar power you generate. Now you can save even more by getting paid a higher rate for the power you don’t use.
Sign up to Solar Savings to earn 15p per kWh for the electricity you send to the grid. That’s two to three times more than the FIT export rate, which is just 5-7p.
How it works
Switch: switch your energy supply to Good Energy and check the box saying you export renewable electricity. When you’ve switched, we’ll contact you to get you registered for Solar Savings.
Share: as soon as your Solar Savings tariff is set up, you’ll start earning money whenever you export power to the energy grid.
Save: your Solar Savings payments will be added to your energy supply account, reducing your annual bill. Solar Savings will replace your FIT export payment, but you’ll still receive your quarterly generation payment.
How much could I earn?
As a guide, the average British household that exports around 50% of the electricity it generates could earn over £210 on our 15p per kWh rate*. That’s over £110 more than you would earn for exporting the same amount on the highest FIT export rate, which is currently 7.14p.
