Zarch, I thought about switching from bulb to octopus, but octopus was 14p/kwh, whereas bulb is still 13p/kwh, so in the winter months it would be more expensive for me.

I want to get on to their Agile tariff..... as I think its the perfect partner for Solar panels and will work out cheaper for me. Aside from the 4pm to 7pm peak..... the rest of the day can be anything from 2p to 9p.... it rarely goes above 10p.

Obviously all the stats came from my little website. :rotfl:

The Agile tarriff helps make a powerful argument for adding battery storage to your solar array. You only need enough capacity to cover the peak period. As well as saving 20p++ per unit during peak, you'll benefit from the cheap electricity for the rest of the day.

Watching these tarriffs with interest. A decent export rate has the potential to make adding west facing panels to my systems, using the "spare" inverter I have as part of the PowerVault battery. Not quite ready to do this yet, but economics looking progressively more favourable.

Not posting it too much now as I don't want my knuckles wrapping from the mods again. :rotfl:

Thanks lads, great info on your website.
Certainly gave me something to think about.
