The 'grid charge power rate' is the one you use for the ac charge schedules, your Octopus Go period, and the 'system charge power rate' is the amount of surplus pv to charge with during the day.
Mine are both set at 100%.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 Go1 -

A lot of the settings are a bit cryptic and don't make much sense at first glance.
Enjoy your cheap leccy on Go.

Aye, apparently firmware beginning with a 'B' is parallel and firmware starting with 'A' is for single inverters.Solarchaser said:Just an FYI apparently new software released.

There's been firmware updates available on the app for parallel units lately so you should be able to update yourself in future using the app.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 -
Hmmm, looks like it could be worth thinking about switching back to Agile.Solarchaser said:So I finally got smart meter connected last week, and today got an email that octopus can see the meters, great, so now switched to go.
Some crazy low prices this week and it was down at -8p last weekend.
The forecast for the weekend is high winds so I'm guessing prices will go negative again.
Tonight's pricing .....

Couple of clicks on their website and their system does the switch automatically at midnight.
