The best overall export tariff is Intelligent Octopus Flux. With this tariff, customers who choose Octopus as their energy supplier can typically gain 29.4p for every kWh (kilowatt-hour) of solar electricity they export between 4pm and 7pm, and 22.1p per kWh at all other times.
As of March 2023, the best-fixed tariff is Octopus Energy’s 15p rate, more than double the 6.4p figure from British Gas. Vision2030 understands how vital the SEG scheme is when installing a PV solar and battery storage system, as it will dictate your savings and ROI.
