The Clearline honesty check

Does this pair with a Clearline installation?

Yes, in principle. Octopus Energy does not require the solar or battery to be installed by Octopus Energy itself for this rate.

Because Octopus Energy publishes no single rate for this tariff, we have not run it through the payback model; see the flat-rate tariffs on the export rates hub for a modelled figure.

Takes about two minutes. We call or text within one working day to book your free 30-minute video design call at a time that suits you. We design it around your roof and your numbers, and our MCS-certified, fully insured installation teams install it.

Installations can only go ahead for homeowners, as the system is fixed to the property. Do carry on if you own it, or you are about to.
Flats and apartments usually share a roof, which rules most installations out. Send your details anyway and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
