Questions about "supplemental" Solar panels

S0litaire

Having a dumb moment here!!

Moved into a new build (Housing Association) 1st floor flat, 6 months ago.

It has access to 2 "supplemental" solar panels on the roof. Electric and Gas provided by British Gas

I can't find anything provided by my Housing association about it (other than they were installed and a sales brochure by the company who installed them).

And... I'm still on the default temp tariffs:
(I know! i know! but when you are on a "pay in cash every 3 months", and only paid £18 in total for gas and electricity since i moved that's during winter!! it can easily slip the mind.)

I can see the Electric smart meter say's I'm currently "in credit by £21" but can't find info on how it's calculated.

couple of questions:
1.a) should I have some documentation regarding a "feed in tariff" or is it an automatic thing?
1.b) should I be applicable for the tariffs?

2) If I change suppliers, does the meter "going dumb" effect things in regards to credit for excess energy produced?

Are these "Solar Panels" for electricity or heating the water?

They are Electric PV panels (for energy generation)
