    Yes.

    Nice an easy!

    Even if your supplier does do FiT, you don't have to go with them.
    The 2 are not linked.

    **Appropriate name there Lekki! Have you thought about suing the government for using your trade mark in their energy campaign?! ;)

    I have switched gas/elec suppliers several times over the past few years.

    My solar FIT payments are still coming from British Gas.

    As above, you don't have to move the solar when you change suppliers. Just choose a provider that does provide FIT payments.

    I think that if you current electricity supplier doesn't offer FIT payments, then you can go with any of the big 6 energy companies.
