We had been using the oven for meals over the previous week (not to game the system) just because what we were making wouldn't fit in the air fryer and we normally cook between 5 and 6pm so it worked out nicely.4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria.0

We got £2.67 and saved 100%.
It appears we accidently managed to do what was needed to make the most savings but didn't know before the Session. The "adjustment" part of the saving factors in use over the 4 hours before the Session starts, so 1pm-5pm this time. The 10 days part of it didn't seem to mean much as our average was 0.2kWh 5-6pm.
I was at work Tuesday, but hubby had grill on to cook his lunch at 1pm, then he ran the dishwasher. I'd sneakily set the battery to charge a bit 2.30-3.30 to make sure we'd be off-grid 5pm-6pm. During the 4 hours from 1pm-5pm we used 3.28kWh. 5-6 we use 0.Barnsley, South Yorkshire

65% reduction - 16p! Difficult to save much when most of the demand in peak period is normally met by the battery.

We saved 99%, for £2.19
Won't ever be this high again, as literally had solar and batteries installed 4 days before the saving session, so peak power now being provided by the batteries where as before it was the grid1 -
84% for 93p here. Not quite sure how that equates but reasonably happy with it.0
