My baseline grid usage is only 0.04kWh, so not going to save much, and I'm better off exporting on Flux between 4-7pm (@29.35p) than saving the battery to export later at 10.21p plus 17.125p for the saving session.
We can at least use whatever is left in the battery to ensure our grid usage is zero for the hour.

Baseline for me is -170Wh, so will be easy to get a good amount of export from the battery at that time.

I'm on Octopus charge pack, it's an event in their eyes. Wonder if that means I get octopoints for saving sessions and credits for charge pack...
PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)1 -
This one is one i can use, will charge for 1 hour 2.5kWh @ 22.17p and then discharge 2.5kWh @ 22.17 + 17p. 1st one to allow me for export greater than my base line, but of course my battery will be at reserve level by 1900.
EDIT:Of course I don't suppose IOF will do that automatically for me so I'll have to mess with it.

It's 80% of what they bid - 215/MW interesting the only higher bid that was accepted 500/MW by DRAX!! , subsidising the subsidised wood burning polluters.

set the battery to export- it won’t do much as per usual as it’s in the twilight zone that time of evening.
