Yes, its a weird feeling when you do something and suddenly realise what you've just done the instant its too late, I think we've all been there one way or another. I think all installers should adopt PV Ultra, its much safer, although its more expensive, but it may work out cheaper as...

A very grey day down here with the odd bit of sun breaking through, 22.91 generated and 22.45 exported, and another highest peak today.

Was it the actual PV cable's? I'm guessing as it was four they were, it has been said that PV cable looks too much like coax, and diyers often think it is. Luckily you are OK, and you got it fixed quickly.

Grey? Is there anything else?

New record.

For the summer I'm sticking with Flux, for the reasons you state above, except I have 29kWh of batteries and 8kW inverter, so can make far more use of the peak period export. I've not looked extensively at the Agile rates, but often the cheapest is around 15p so on a par with Flux cheap rate, I...

Been a pretty poor day down here, forecast was for 31, actual is 21.38 with 22.15 exported.

Yes, they decreased what we get for export far more than import decreased, so I really don't expect this year to be as good, although the FITS generation will have increased, so that will offset it a bit. April 2023 bill. Import 19.53p,32.55p and 45.57p (cheap, day & peak) Export 23.18p and...

For 2023 £1635 for exports - Flux paying out very well :D £122 for saving sessions £50 referral £734 FITS generation payments for the SE system.

Up to 5th April our electric has cost £95. 2023 electric costs are minus £1193, so even after taking into account the gas bill, we were still £405 in profit, and it was only early April that I moved onto Flux. I've included saving session, export and FITS payments in the above, and 2023 also...

40.84 generated and 39.1 exported, not looking quite so good for the rest of the week though.

Saving sessions was one of the issues I had, I could only export for peak between 16:00 - 16:30 and 18:30 to 19:00 at 8kW although i think we did have one session after 18:30.so lost a bit there. That said, I often didn't have much battery capacity left to export much more due to lack of...

I'd probably still charge when cost effective to do so, if there's a nice cheap period, or even negative coming up it would make sense to force discharge, then charge when cheap, but it would need automating.

It's not a subscription feature as I have it on mine, mines says: You: £446 Agile: £268 Standard: £702 But it doesn't take into account exports, which is annoying. I'll have to see what I've exported, but if I was on Agile then charging and exporting would be different, so very difficult to...

I think I may have to look at Agile for next winter, I could also automate it.

A new record for this year, 43.15 with 37.8 exported.

Found this the other day. https://octopus.energy/help-and-faqs/articles/which-export-tariff-can-i-combine-with-my-import-tariff/#

Take a look in my signature, although I did use an electrician for the AC side.

Ah, but as @katie279 would say, generation is what really matters ;) I do agree efficiency is a better comparison, but it's still very much depends on the weather.
