Site Listing Comparative FITS Payments?

Does anyone know of a site listing comparative FITS payment made by electricity companies?
I have a small solar PV system and am currently on an Ecotricity tariff. The FITS payment offered is relatively generous, and more than the goverment set level. However their prices are pegged to the local supplier's Standard tariff, which in my case is EDF.
I want to look at switching to a cheaper import tariff, even though my FITS payments may decrease.
Am I right in thinking that I cannot clam FITS via one supplier while taking my imported power via another supplier?

  • i thought the systems were independent - as long as its from the approved list you can have different companies for import and export.

    You may well be correct-however I didn't think that asking Ecotricity would be likely to result in an impartial answer!
    Absurdly, Ecotricity used to pay the FIT by cheque: after several prompts, they now pay it as a credit against my quarterly billing.
