We have a solar set up.

Been on eon Next's Drive Fixed v7 for near a year so I guess the rates will be changing for me shortly.

Any others I should look at?

    Octopus have two export tariffs for supply costomers; Outgoing and Outgoing Agile.

    Outgoing is currently paying 15p/kWh.

    Outgoing Agile pays a different price every half-hour based on wholesale prices at that time. Recently it's mostly been less than 15p/kWh so, unless you have a home battery and want to time your exports, non-Agile is probably the better option.

    Any others I should look at?

    Which? has a table here that compares export tariffs:
