Octopus saving sessions

Not exactly going to get rich on that are we......... We're mostly running on battery at that time of day, although we could do a bit of forced export from the battery.

I have problems with my solar , when it’s sunny, I am normally exporting 1-2 kWh meaning my base is minus to start with, ok I will get 30p / kWh for export but then need to top up the battery earlier than normal at 23p. Plus we will need to cook then since we have a hospital visit between 2-6 pm, a takeaway will outweigh the savings. 
I am annoyed that they(Octopus) never bid for the 1900-2100 slots.

Agree 💯  ..

Opted in but my solar is likely to cover my "baseload", so no action required. Solar probably covered me on the reference day, too, so no points for me, I suspect. Still, it's the thought that counts!

Can I ask how you get 30p export please ? Best I can think of is 15p+10p=25p. With system losses and such like it's not even worth trying any more I'm afraid, much like last year. I'm out
