 The Feed in Tariff is no longer available and has been replaced by the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). The SEG requires the large licensed energy suppliers to provide at least one export tariff to Solar PV generators generating a maximum of 5MW. Smaller energy suppliers can take part on a voluntary basis.
Battery Storage and the SEG
During the event of a powercut some battery storage systems, such as the Tesla Powerwall back-up v2.0 system, will allow you to use your solar panels and stored electricity when the grid is down. The Tesla Powerwall back-up v2.0 system will also allow you to import electricity during the off-peak electricity tariff period thus allowing you to use the imported off-peak electricity during the peak period.
To benefit from the SEG you will need to satisfy the following criteria:
1. Your system is not receiving the FIT
2. Your renewable generation should not be generating more than 5MW of electricity
3. Have a half-hourly export reading grid meter
4. Your installation must be MCS certified
