My mistake- sorry!

Don't apologise, I fancied having it but it wasn't available for my phone but I have told a friend with an Apple phone so thanks!

Until July comes of course - then we will have to see how the tariff changes..

Is it definitely going to change in July, has there been any news?

As long as the off peak import and mid price export remain about the same I will still be happy

I would imagine everything would go down by a few pence at least but we shall see!

Just been credited with £117 for my first 17 days of export, with no battery. £94 more than deemed, so very pleased.

As of yesterday we are officially on flux! Only started the process in Mid March lol...still only shows import at this point though. Have to say Octopus does seem to have decent customer service and they are saying they will provide compensation for the lost income based on what we have exported.

I have been on Flux export from mid April, as of yesterday I have exported almost exactly what I have imported.  It looks like flux would work for me all year round as a simple what I export equals what I import therefore cost neutral.  It will almost certainly be better to change tariff over winter but I will decide later in the year.

@mickyduck55 aren't you forgetting the lack of sun in the winter months or are you factoring the cost over the whole year?

I'm hoping my ability to charge a lot off peak and then export that at peak helps through the winter months.

My guess is that mid June is pretty much 50% through the year so it is a full view of winter and summer- ie it’s the same amount of sun as the second half

as @Ron-ski says we are about 50 % through the year and Im at break even.. but Eco7 will probably be better for me over winter with its longer / later period to charge the batteries
