Just under 24p per kWh for the month (we schedule all appliances to run from 2-5am). We imported ~4 kWh per day and exported roughly 3X that back to the grid.Magnitio said:What was your average rate for import?
Interesting. We've been averaging 21p/kWh for export and 19p/kWh for import, but that is with a battery. Would be a better export rate if our roof was a bit more west-facing. @Alnat1 - what are your averages like?

We averaged 25.4p/kWh for export in June and 22p/kWh for export in July. Didn’t have any import though it got close at the end of July with the endless rain!Smart 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

My average for July is 19.57p import (av. under 1kWh/day) and 22.31p export (av. 9.7kWh/day)
Although SW I have a small battery and only 3.6 inverter. If the sun is shining 4-7pm then often I'm generating 3.6kW and can't start pushing any extra back to the grid from the battery until around 6pm.
We also need to realise prices differ by region so directly comparing rates doesn't mean a lot.Barnsley, South Yorkshire

Joined Intelligent Octopus Flux Two days ago.
They control the battery and discharge to the grid during the peak export time (16.00 to 19.00) @ 33.52p/KWh
It's early days and still a Beta product.

I don't have a battery so won't be able to get it but running the numbers for the last 6 months I would be up about £420 vs the current Flux rates.
That's with an EV to charge and ASHP doing hot water in normal flux offpeak etc. 8.8kWp with around half west facing so good for the peak period.
Think it would be awful for me in Winter though 😅0
