1 These annual energy savings are dependent on your property type and location, roof type, slope and size. If your roof is shaded or isn't south facing, figures are likely to be lower. We based the figure on the following: a) You have 12 (440W) solar panels and a 9.5 kWh battery installed b) You’re home all day with an annual electricity consumption of 2,700 kWh (Ofgem). You currently pay our Standard Variable Rate of 24.50p (correct at 1 October 2024) and will use 39% of what you generate c) You sign up for our exclusive SEG rate (20p kWh) for customers who purchase solar and a battery from us, and you sell back the remaining 61% of energy generated. You’ll get a more accurate savings estimation once we’ve surveyed your property.

2 If you buy solar panels and a battery from us, and OVO supply your energy, you'll be eligible for our anytime SEG rate of 20p per kWh rate (correct at 1 January 2024). You'll need to sign up to our SEG tariff to get this rate. This SEG rate is exclusive to customers who get solar panels and battery from OVO. You’ll also need a smart meter.

3 To qualify for the £500 solar discount, your survey must be completed between 29th November and 13th December. Installation must be booked within 30 days of receipt of quote. Only valid on purchase of solar panels and a battery together. This promotion can’t be used in conjunction with any other solar offers. Offer may be amended or withdrawn at any time. Solar installation service not available in all areas, please use our postcode checker. See full terms and eligibility.

4 Solar electricity is low carbon, renewable energy. According to the Energy Saving Trust, a typical home solar system could save around 1 tonne of carbon per year. This will depend on where you live in the UK, how many solar panels you have, and how much electricity you use from your solar panels.

5 Finance is subject to eligibility, terms and a £500 deposit. OVO is a broker not a lender.

6 Our smart tech aims to charge your battery when the grid has more renewable energy in it, at periods of lower demand. Meaning it’s less likely your battery will be charged by energy from fossil fuels.

7 Up to 58% saving based on OVO charging the customer's battery at the Battery Boost rate of 10p per kWh versus charging the battery at OVO's current standard standard variable electricity rate of 24.50p which is 58.34% higher. If you override the controls and charge the battery from the grid, you'll be charged your standard electricity unit rate.

8 Beyond allows eligible customers to accrue the value of up to 5 solar panels over two years. Approximate accrual rate of the value of one solar panel per 4 month period. Redeemable when a customer purchases an OVO solar panel and battery package within the accrual period or up to three years after. Must be redeemed in one go. Value of the amount of solar panels accrued by the time of redemption will be applied as a discount to your total solar panel and battery package up to a maximum redemption value of £500. Terms and eligibility criteria apply. For more details see here.
