Solar FIT generation - transfer from SSE to OVO

Madtrace64

Hi
We've had solar panels for almost 11 years, installed by SSE. There was a rocky start, but for last 8 years or so, payments have been prompt, usually about 2-3 weeks after submission.
I've read some disturbing things about delayed payments (4months+) now OVO have taken over, we have been waiting 5 weeks, so far.
Is anyone else experiencing this?  If yes, how did you get success.  Phone ringing off hook, I've now tweeted, but no response yet.

You can move your Feed in Tariff to another company - we are with EDF and no issues.

Seeing exactly the same. Similar PV install date, FIT with SSE until the Ovo change recently. SSE generally paid up within a month of the reading date. Ovo have, since takeover, been around 8 weeks.

I’m with good energy ,3 month gap from meter read to payment, 8 weeks wait sounds great to me.

Same here with Good Energy, I don't mind too much, it's just that when the pigeons poo on them and I am unaware of the small £35 coming. The next quarter, I am expecting £100+

I've been with E.on for my FIT for the past 5 years or so.  I submit my reading on the first of the month and the money is in my bank account the following week.
