    Wasn't home to opt in, wouldn't have had much to save if I had :/

    Shame, I usually like to join these things just to show willing.

    I'm usually running on battery and working, so doubt I'll save anything.

    Given the lack of sunshine, that would then mean importing more overnight, and Agile prices mean the import would cost me more than what I’d be paid. So the maths doesn’t work.

    We actually had decent solar for this time of year, managed to export 7.2kWh during the hour.

    Doing it more to show willing than for any benefit as that still only amounts to a little less than £2.

    Didn't bother. It was Wednesday and it's always Toad in the Hole night on Wednesday so the oven was on.
