Is it any more difficult to change energy suppliers once initial FIT paperwork/registration done? Any issues to consider connected with this?

We will be registering with British Gas, current suppliers.

Thanks

    You can change energy suppliers just the same as before you had panels as the two are completely separate, or are you asking about changing FiT supplier?

    We've changed suppliers 4 times since our panels were installed. No issues at all.

    Still with same FIT provider though.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    As above. The FIT and fuel are completely separate. I have changed electricity supplier several times since getting FIT, although my FIT has always been with a separate company.

    I prefer to choose for my SIP administrator a renewable energy company who actively seeks out new FIT subscribers, rather than a big 6 supplier who is only administering FIT because they are forced to by the regulator, but that's just my personal choice.
