    Meanwhile, I'm waiting for a cheque from British gas. A cheque...

    I'm with them. Never had to wait long, normally well within a week from submitting reading online

    I get my FiT from First Utility. Payment is always on the 28th of the month two months after the reading.

    I'm currently with Ovo but when I swap supplier to Ecotricity can I get the FiT swapped over to them?

    I also chose BG as my FIT payment company when I had my panels installed in 2015.

    Cheques have arrived so far within 2 weeks of supplying the readings.

    FIT is independent of electricity supplier so you can move or stay or go somewhere different.
    Our FIT is with BG who have never supplied our electricity

    hello everyone. i am new in this business. can anyone please explain in few lines what does this solar panel thing means? a company is using your roof to put their panels? the amount of energy that you re using it s free and everything that s extra, you will be payed by that company, possibly as a much lower rate? thanks in advance.
