Good Energy Solar Export Tariffs: Rates 2026
Checked 10 July 2026: Good Energy’s dedicated export-tariff page lists Solar Savings at 12p/kWh and Solar Savings Exclusive at 25p/kWh for 12 months. The exclusive rate requires a qualifying Good Energy solar-and-battery installation and Good Energy import supply.
What is Good Energy’s solar export tariff rate?
As checked on 3 August 2026, Good Energy’s Solar Savings tariff pays 12p per kWh exported, while Solar Savings Exclusive pays 25p per kWh for a fixed 12-month term. Solar Savings is for eligible Good Energy electricity-supply customers. The Exclusive rate is for qualifying customers whose solar panels and home battery were installed by Good Energy Solar, after which the account rolls onto the standard Solar Savings tariff.
Both routes require the relevant supply and smart-meter eligibility. Solar Savings is variable, and the Exclusive rate offered to new customers can change, so confirm the live tariff and eligibility with Good Energy before applying.
Good Energy export rates
| Tariff | Rate on dedicated page | Main public conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Savings Exclusive | 25p/kWh | Fixed for 12 months; qualifying solar panels and battery installed by Good Energy Solar; Good Energy import supply. |
| Solar Savings | 12p/kWh | Variable rate; Good Energy import supply and suitable half-hourly smart meter. |
Why did some Good Energy pages say 15p?
The dedicated export-tariff page and July 2026 savings examples use 12p, while separate solar-product and offer pages still contained 15p wording on the check date. Good Energy’s written reply confirmed 12p for new standard applications and said the inconsistent pages would be reviewed. The contract and tariff information label still govern.
What happens after the 25p year?
Good Energy says the Exclusive product is fixed for 12 months and then rolls to the standard Solar Savings tariff. A 25-year solar-payback model should not assume 25p for every year.
Worked annual export payments
| Measured export | 25p exclusive year | 12p standard |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 kWh/year | £250 | £120 |
| 2,000 kWh/year | £500 | £240 |
Is this the same as an Ofgem SEG tariff?
Good Energy publishes residential export products, but Good Energy is not named on Ofgem’s current 2026/27 mandatory or voluntary SEG licensee list. Treat the product as a commercial export tariff and read its own terms rather than inferring SEG status from a comparison table.
Feed-in Tariff customers
Good Energy says a FIT customer can switch the export element to Solar Savings while keeping FIT generation payments. Compare the actual deemed or metered FIT export value first, and check the rules for opting back before changing.
Eligibility checklist
- Good Energy import supply.
- Communicating smart meter with half-hourly readings.
- No overlapping FIT export payment for the same electricity.
- Qualifying solar-and-battery installation for the Exclusive rate.
- Direct Debit and eligible import tariff where required by the tariff label.
Save the tariff information label or written confirmation that applies on the sign-up date. That evidence is more useful than a screenshot of a general solar sales page if the rate later differs from the contract.
