Ofgem describes the Smart Export Guarantee as a route for eligible small-scale low-carbon generators to receive payments for electricity exported to the grid.
For homeowners comparing solar, that makes export assumptions worth checking alongside self-consumption, battery storage, and solar panel payback. The export route is useful context, not a substitute for a clear quote.
