The SEG launched in 2020 to replace the Feed-in-Tariff, and requires energy suppliers with 150,000+ customers to pay homeowners for any unused solar-generated electricity. This means that you’ll already need to have solar PV panels installed, but an SEG tariff can still save you money on your electricity. Homeowners with MCS-certified solar PV panels installed may be eligible. But you’ll also be required to have a registered smart meter installed that records your expod electricity. James Andrews, Senior Personal Finance Editor at Money.co.uk, says, ‘people may be put off the idea of solar panels as they think the UK’s frequently grey skies won’t generate enough energy. However, even on gloomy days panels still produce power.’
