M&S Energy can help you to generate your own energy, in one of two ways:

  • Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) converts daylight into electricity.
  • Solar Thermal heats your home's water supply.

You'll reduce your annual energy bills and help the environment. Plus, with a government backed Feed-in Tariff (FiT), you can earn a guaranteed income over the next 25 years.‡‡

Why invest in solar energy?

Most British homes can run on solar power - a clean and sustainable source of energy. And because renewable energy is in demand, investing in solar energy can earn you an income as well as power your home.

Get FiT for the Future

M&S Energy customers can benefit from a Feed-in Tariff (FiT) when they generate their own energy. That means you can earn an income while also lowering your bills.

Important note
The Government have announced that any install completed before the 3rd March will receive no less than 21p per kwh Feed in Tariff.
