Submit British Gas FIT Readings Online for Feed In Tariff Solar Payments


We use British Gas for our FIT (Feed in Tariff) payments for our solar panels. This is a separate company to the one that supplies us with electricity and in some ways it helps to keep the two totally separate as you are likely to want to move supplier over the 25 year lifetime of the Feed in Tariff payment scheme.

Originally when we signed up to British gas our FIT Readings for the Feed In Tariff payments had to be sent by email to British Gas and soon afterwards a cheque was posted back to us with the FIT payments.

They have now improved this process so that British Gas Feed in Tariff solar electricity generation meter readings can be submitted online. You need your Meter Reading (obviously!) as well as your meter serial number and installation ID. Sensibly and very helpfully British Gas include this information on the email they send you to remind that a reading it due.

Once you have your generation meter reading you can submit your reading for FIT payments using the website below:

The one improvement that is outstanding is to make payments by bank transfer but as British Gas seem to be one of the fastest FIT payers this is only a minor niggle!

  1. I have been waiting to be paid my FIT cheque since 31/3/20 after sending my meter reading as per the Email request by British gas/Fit team. I have telephoned 4 times to ask where the cheque is. On the first phone call they decided to cancel the cheque and send me another which also did not arrive. They keep telling me it's on it's way but almost 3 months later it is still in transit. Please do something about this incompetant company!!!!!!!!! Where is my cheque British Gas? You will be asking for my next reading in 10 days time. Will you be hanging on to that cheque as well and not paying me what is due to me? It would be far more convenient to pay it into my bank account. Much quicker and safer as at least we get our due payment. Regards Sandra Hammond

  2. It is about time that British Gas got the FIT payments made by bank transfer-they have had long enough.
