Some of the Octopus tariffs require partial surrender of the FIT and, once done, it doesn't appear to be possible to reinstate them. The loss, were I to do so, may or may not be significant, I just don't know at this stage. However, I'd rather try a smart tariff before denting my FIT and see how things go.
For anybody on a more recent SEG or just considering PV/battery the issue that I have doesn't come into play so strongly, if at all.
