solar panels and octopus

Options
Hi all, I'm new to the solar game and i am currently on an existing fixed with Scottish Power on 24p per KW. It is up for renewal later this year. I have 4050  kw solar panels (10 of them) and a 9.5 KW Givenergy battery. We have an ASHP for our heating and no electric car. Am I best changing to Octopus Flex?

    Given you have a GivEnergy battery, you could consider their newest Intelligent Flux tariff

    -  Triple aspect. (22% ENE/ 33% SSE/ 45% WSW)
    -  Viessmann 200-W on Advanced Weather Comp. (the most efficient gas boiler sold)

    Feel free to DM me if I can help with any energy saving!

    Welcome to the Forum @pedropip . One of the Fluxes is definitely the way to go for when you’re going to be exporting anything. I’ve earnt £176 since my install 7 weeks ago. I’m considering Cosy for the winter months though for the double dip cheap rate.
