How much can I earn from solar with SEG?

Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) you're paid for electricity you export — typically 4p–15p per kWh depending on the tariff. A typical home earns £100–£300/year on top of bill savings.

In more detail

You'll earn more by using your own generation first (self-consumption) and choosing a high SEG rate. Some tariffs pair export with cheap import for EV or battery charging.
