About the Smart Export Guarantee

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) requires licensed electricity suppliers with 150,000+ customers to offer a tariff for exported solar electricity. Unlike the old Feed-in Tariff, there's no minimum rate — suppliers set their own prices, which is why comparing rates matters.

🔌 Who Can Get SEG?

Anyone with solar panels up to 5MW, a smart meter (or export meter), and MCS-certified installation. Your system must be registered with your chosen SEG supplier.

💡 Can I Switch Suppliers?

Yes! Your SEG supplier doesn't have to be your electricity supplier. You can shop around for the best export rate independently of who you buy electricity from.

📊 Fixed vs Variable vs Agile

Fixed rates are guaranteed for a period. Variable rates can change. Agile rates fluctuate with wholesale prices — potentially higher but unpredictable.

⚡ Maximise Your Earnings

Export more by adding battery storage to shift excess to peak export times. Some agile tariffs pay premium rates during evening peak demand.

Disclaimer: SEG rates change frequently. While we strive to keep this information accurate, always verify current rates directly with suppliers before signing up. Some tariffs have specific eligibility requirements or may not be available in all areas.
