Will chase Jake at Infinity to ask about upgrading.
Many thanks.
Once you've had the update done, your Octopus graph should look something like this.

Anyone here with batteries on Agile and if so, what price are you averaging per unit ?
Just had our bill after our first full month on Go and we averaged 5.99p per unit.Scott in Fife, 2.9kwp pv SSW facing, 2.7kw Fronius inverter installed Jan 2012 - 14.3kwh Seplos Mason battery storage with Lux ac controller - Renault Zoe 40kwh, Corsa-e 50kwh, Zappi EV charger and Octopus Go0 -
No battery, but 6.4-6.5p/kWh on agile. Use about 60kWh a day spread evenly across the day except for the peak hours. so I'm considered a high user!EVandPV said:Anyone here with batteries on Agile and if so, what price are you averaging per unit ?

21Mwh a year, wow, yeah id say thats high use right enough.
I thought i was bad at 7Mwh.
Id imagine you would be able to fill and drain batteries a couple of times a day (assuming a 10kwh or less battery bank) utilising the cheapest times on agileWest central Scotland

To be fair I also generated 4mWh last year, used most of it locally.Solarchaser said:21Mwh a year, wow, yeah id say thats high use right enough.

Even if I were to fill and use batteries twice a day the economics don't work out...5.41 kWp System, E-W. Installed Nov 2017

Wow - but the economics of PV must be cracking for you then if you have an average load of 2.5kWh. Nice.chamelion said:

I've learned a lesson in messing about with spreadsheets on PV and economy 7 - averages really don't work with solar PV. Consumption and generation are so peaky that it is really difficult to work anything out.Martyn1981 said:Wow - but the economics of PV must be cracking for you then if you have an average load of 2.5kWh.
