What Octopus offers for solar

Octopus provides solar panel installation through their Smart Home Tech division. They quote, install, and commission rooftop solar systems with optional battery storage. They also offer tariffs specifically designed for solar owners: Agile (half-hourly pricing with variable export), Flux (premium export rates during peak demand), and standard SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) for guaranteed export payments.

Getting a solar quote from Octopus

The official route is through the Octopus solar page. They'll assess your roof, provide a quote including battery options, and handle the full installation. MCS certification is included, which qualifies you for the Smart Export Guarantee and any applicable government schemes.

Which tariff for solar owners?

If you have solar panels and want to maximise their value, your tariff choice matters significantly. See our tariffs explained guide for a full comparison, but the short version: Agile for flexibility, Flux for premium export rates, or standard SEG if you want simplicity.

Already switching? Get the £50 credit first

If you're planning to get an Octopus solar quote, switch your energy supply via the referral link first to get £50 credit. The solar installation is separate from your energy supply switch — you can have both.
