How Does The Smart Export Guarantee Work?

When you install renewable energy technology in your home, like solar panels or a wind turbine, there’s a good chance you’ll produce more electricity than you can use. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows you to sell this excess electricity back to the grid. Instead of your surplus energy going to waste, you get paid for it!

Your earnings under the SEG depend on several factors:

  • The amount of surplus energy you export – Obviously, the more you export, the more you earn.
  • The rate offered by your supplier – This rate can vary, and it’s worth shopping around to find the best deal.
  • The technology you use – Different tech might have different rates.

One of the best parts about the SEG is that it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. You can choose a tariff that fits your energy generation and consumption patterns, making it a flexible option for homeowners looking to step into the renewable energy space.
