A look inside the Next Solar Max tariff.
12 month fixed term electricity tariff, with access to variable wholesale1 electricity prices.
Your Next Solar Max subscription optimises your electricity import and export, charging your battery during periods when the grid electricity is cheaper and typically has a lower carbon footprint and discharging your battery to the grid when prices are high.
You can override the automation at any time, however this will result in the battery not being optimised and may attract a higher cost for energy.
Payment must be made by a variable price monthly Direct Debit.
No exit fees.

How does the Next Solar Max tariff work?
Advanced automation combined with wholesale energy prices.
Electricity prices change every 30 minutes.¹ It all depends on supply and demand, weather, and the availability of renewable energy. The E.ON Next Solar app helps you maximise savings by automatically optimising your solar and battery system in real time.
Its advanced algorithm uses AI and machine learning to learn your energy use, combining this with dynamic wholesale prices from the Next Solar Max tariff to effortlessly manage battery optimisation. This allows you to strategically import electricity from the grid when wholesale prices are low and export when prices are high.
Unlocking your batteries full potential in one simple app.
Say goodbye to cluttered home screens and endless spreadsheets. The E.ON Next Solar app offers an intuitive way to track all your electricity assets within a single, easy to use platform.
You can also view your personalised 12 hour energy rate forecast directly within the app, helping you save2 time and money.
Feel like taking the reins?
We know life isn’t always predictable. So whether you’ve got a big event planned and need a little extra in the tank, or are going away for a day or two and want to maximise your export, the E.ON Next Solar app’s manual control features let you direct your battery to stay optimised even when your routine changes. You can manually override the automation, choosing when to charge, export, or preserve your battery.

E.ON passes through wholesale electricity prices directly at cost to you. This includes: wholesale energy costs, network charges (per kWh and per day), metering costs, environmental costs and carbon offset costs and government policies.

Any projections or estimates of savings provided are for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered a guarantee of future results. Individual results will differ.
The Solar Max Price Match includes a calculation of your electricity overall import and export costs on a monthly basis . If you have not benefitted from the Solar Max tariff, we will credit your account with the difference. If you have benefitted on the Solar Max tariff, it’s great news and you benefit from the savings. At the end of the term, we will ensure that you benefitted from the Solar Max tariff by at least £50 across the year and will apply a credit for the difference if you haven’t. This is calculated by comparing your import charges and export payments on the Next Solar Max tariff to your previous tariff up to the renewal date of the previous tariff and the tariff rates set out in the table below thereafter and the SEG rate in the table below:
Standing charge (per day) - 53.804p
Peak unit rate (7am - 12am) - 28.237p
Off-peak unit rate (12am - 7am) - 6.7p
Export (SEG) rate - 16.5p
