    That is interesting, I am willing and able to export and have applied for an export mpan number which is still to arrive, so don't know if export would be recognised by my energy provider!

    I turned off everything except the lighting circuit but only had one or two lights on. I expect about 30p.

    2.7kWh exported in total.

    Stupidly hadn't preconfigured the inverter for the saving session and didn't remember until 8mins after it started, must try better next time haha

    Not really, those with batteries can get paid to export though. I managed to send 2.6kWh back to the grid, so should make £5+ which will cover a couple of days energy costs.
