    I'm hoping I won't regret exporting from my battery. Bit off not knowing what tomorrow's rates are going to be.

    I've stopped my export now - tomorrow looks sunny, but I don't want to take too much risk given the lack of any pricing yet! 

    I've just checked, and the website does say 'between 4pm and 6pm' before stating that it's usually closer to 4pm.

    Tomorrow's rates aren't on the Octopus app either, very unusual

    Presumably they haven't got pricing from wherever they get them from yet...

    I take a view of as long as the average price I import at is under the SVT or under my previous off peak rate, then carry on. 

    Although I am obviously more careful on a day like today. 🤣
    PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)

    If we go onto Agile after our current Tracker ends, that'll be my view as well.  Definitely don't have the brainpower to be trying to minimise cost per kWh, nor the buy-in from the rest of the household.

    Bother, noticed too late that there was a saving session between 5 and 6pm, that might have saved a few pennies.
