Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

The SEG launched on 1 January 2020 and is a government-backed initiative. It requires some electricity suppliers, known as SEG Licensees, to pay small-scale generators, known as SEG Generators (e.g. people with solar panels on their home), for low-carbon electricity which they export back to the National Grid, providing certain criteria are met.

So in short, you can sell any surplus energy your solar panels generate back to the National Grid.
