[QUOTE="user 36170, post: 540625, member: 36170"] Hi Si, I'm definitely still getting FiT payments from the government (paid by Octopus) for my solar generation (I've had panels since 2016). Octopus pay me for what I send them back to the grid (both solar generated and stored in my batteries and sent back) through my smart meter, on Agile Outgoing Octopus rates, so varying through the day, and then give me a FiT payment at the end of every quarter (only about 5p per kWh I think) but it all adds up in the spring and summer, so worth hanging on to. The solar meter is SUPPOSED to just record what I generate, but seems to now record everything going to and from the battery instead. Someone on another forum suggested it might be something to do with "the monitoring CT’s (toroidal current transformers ) wrongly configured." I've passed this on to my installer (who is unfortunately not local), but he seems to be ignoring me now, so I assume it wasn't helpful. I asked a local installer who said who was not allowed to help me as my system was the responsibility of the installer for the first two years. Ben [/QUOTE]
