@pensionpawn Yes, that's the bill after all charges including gas, I force charge for the 3 hours, and the force discharge in the peak.
Electric export was £254 IIRC, on top of that would be FITS generation payments for the FITS system.0 -
I charge everynight for 3 hours. Never force disharge.

I do, roughly 18 kWh every day during peak period, more if the sun's shining, import is always just over 20 kWh a day off peak.0

OK, so up until 10am today I was seeing no data for Saturday, very unusual, and Sunday, although that usually arrives by late morning. So now Sunday's electrical has appeared (no gas yet) however still no electrical for Saturday (alarm bells!), although gas has appeared. I've emailed Octopus. Is this just me (trying to head off paranoia....)0

Both Saturday and Sunday’s electric data has appeared today. I don’t have gas.Northern Lincolnshire. 7.8 kWp system, (4.2 kw west facing panels , 3.6 kw east facing), Solis inverters, Solar IBoost water heater, Mitsubishi SRK35ZS-S and SRK20ZS-S Wall Mounted Inverter Heat Pumps, ex Nissan Leaf owner)0

I was also missing the weekend’s data but all present and correct nowSmart Tech Specialist with Octopus Energy Services (all views my own). 4.44kW SW Facing in-roof array with 3.6kW Givenergy Gen 2 Hybrid inverter and 9.5kWh Givenergy battery. 9kW Panasonic Aquarea L (R290) ASHP. #gasfree since July ‘230

Others have mentioned lack of updates over the weekend, mines there now but hadn't checked over the weekend.0

Fully populated around 4pm. 3 months into Flux now and it's paid 5.1 x deemed and has totalled ~ £323 for the winter kitty net of deemed and increases to gas and night time import. Of course the best third of the year is behind me and it will now be interesting to see how far the surplus takes me before eating into generation FiT. My "back of fag packet" calculations 3 months ago were just short of a net zero energy bill (including generation FiT) for the year. That will do for me!1

If you / I get net zero with the worst solar July and August.. since my records began (2011) happy days. I personally don't think I will be far off by end of year.. My FIT will pick up any slack3.995kWP SSW facing. Commissioned 7 July 2011. 24 degree pitch (£3.36 /W).

With the exception of 2021, this is the worst year to date since my panels were installed in Dec' 2015! Hopefully this bodes well for the future..mickyduck55 said:If you / I get net zero with the worst solar July and August.. since my records began (2011) happy days.
