    I'm with Good Energy for my FiT payments. I wouldn't recommend them if your prime concern is speedy payments; you'll get your money 6 to 8 weeks after supplying a reading. I stay with them because of their ethical stance.

    I signed with Good Energy, I've had some responses and am still waiting for some details.
    I signed a bit rashly as I didn't want the big 6 getting involved, should have done a bit more research on that but hey ho.
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    Me too, and for the same reasons, despite the delays. Although I haven't much money my cash flow isn't that bad that I need the money instantly, and it's easy enough to work out how much and when you're going to get it.

    Up to now EDF have been pretty quick - put my readings online last night which were acknowledged straight away. I'll see how long they take this time - previously it was pretty much the 3 days required for the BACS to go through.

    Not sure if I'll stay with Good Energy long term.
    Apparantly they have been swamped with FiT applications and are working their way through the backlog.

    They have assured me that I won't lose out on any generation payments - nice to know :mad:

    Email from EDF to say the BACS payment is in the system and I should get it within 5 days (in practice it is usually about 3) so clearly they haven't changed (yet).
