FIT supplier tariffs

[Adiethesailor]

Good evening,
We are on the verge of signing a contract for 2.88kWp solar PV on our roof.  Our supplier is nPower and their online tariff has been 9.9p per kWh.  I have just checked their website which says that we need to change to their nPower Juice rate to sell our electricity to them, which, at 14p per unit is nearly 50% more.  We use about 7500 units per year and while I hope that we may be able to generate 40-50% of that ourselves, it galls that we will be selling to nPower at 3p and then buying back at 5p per unit more than we were previously paying for the privilege!  It seems that our actual electricity bill may barely decrease - and worst case scenario is that it may increase!
This has caused me to pause and revisit my payback calculations with even more assumptions adding doubt.
Is there a better deal out there that others have signed onto for the impending FIT?
Alternatively, is it possible to sell to one company and buy from another?
Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Regards to all.

Hi Adie
I was with N power and realised their tariffs were expensive. I changed to Scottish and Southern, with their Atlantic Electricity company. A normal internet tariff. Very pleased. I get 28p for export. Don't know how it will all be affected by FITs as it will all change. 3p export and 41p generated with all companies I assume

Hi Iain,
Thanks for that - I will check them out.  My main concern is the cost of imported electricity which, with nPower will increase by about 50%, negating some of the FIT benefit.
Thanks again,
Adrian
