1.1kWh quite surprised really

Good to see your now exporting….we have now done 82.4 kwh in december and exported 49.6kwh of it. So keeping the bills down and accruing a nice pot against the bill itself.

To save me reading the whole thread again, who are you exporting to? at the moment we are giving our surplus away.

We are with octopus and we get 15p/kwh on export as we are current customers for duel fuel……

Just moved over to Octopus Agile for our incoming, managed to get octopus to fill our battery overnight & pay us for the privilege, they had 2x 1/2 hours at 0p & 3x at -2.1p just going to be intensive if I want to do it everyday

Was the move to Octopus Agile fairly painless? we are currently with Shell and need to move our account to take advantage of the PV's

Moved to Octopus from British Gas, we had been a customer before & our account was still active, they moved us over very quickly, within a few days, then organised smart meters which were fitted within 2 weeks after BG had promised them for 18 months & not able to supply.

I'm liking Agile at the moment, hopefully the rates will stay reasonable, I charged the battery up last night on rates between 0p & 5.72p, then I've given it another 2 hours this afternoon which got it up to 100% on 25.39p & 26.04p hopefully that should see us through the evening. Not quite sure if the financial gain is worth the effort but we'll see in a few days whether I get bored of it.

I’m just looking at Octopus - they seem to have added Minis to their list of supported EVs for Intelligent Octopus, and we have a second 10kw battery being fitted this week, so the idea of 6 hours overnight at 10p/kWh is very appealing. Agile looks interesting, but quite high maintenance, and at the moment we can’t tweak the SolarEdge battery charging times ourselves, they have to be set by the installer. We’re currently on a dual-fuel fix from Oct 21 so no desperate rush to switch.

Battery is currently at 19% from a 0% start. Not expecting much this week.
