How do export Tariffs compare with the price cap for the coming year?

I don't have any PV so I'm just asking for interest.  Considering the sky high average cap of 51.89p per kWh from October what tariffs will be paid to those exporting PV electricity to the grid over the following year; are you tied into the ultra-lower tariffs agreed when you had the panels fitted?  If the energy companies are making so much money why shouldn't those with the foresight to invest in rooftop PV?  The disastrous price hikes could have been used as an opportunity to market green investments in a positive way.  At least PV might help to limit the electric bills, although I expect the greatest electric usage will be on winter nights.

Octopus Agile Outgoing is the only fair export tariff as it follows wholesale prices.

Not sure which tariffs you're referring to but the early Feed in Tariff currently pays around 62p per kWh generated and is likely to be around 72p from April next year

Annoyingly you can’t be on that for export and something like Go for import. We’re only allowed to save money or profit, not both at the same time!

Whilst it only says you can’t use Go and Outgoing Agile at the same time. I’m assuming that’s also the case with Intelligent Octopus and Outgoing Agile?
