    109 octopoints per kWh saved - equates to 13.5p per kWh plus export on top - it’s really not worth the effort this one

    Mortgage freedom January 2024 - paid off 7 years early by making overpayments where we could.

    Just gone to turn off the export so it doesn't export tomorrow (forgot that last time and exported for 3 nights before I realised) and Solis have made some horrible changes to their app. Fortunately there was the option to turn off their new look (but probably only temporary). They've not made the only change I'd like which is more than 3 charge/discharge slots

    Well we took part last night but the effort didn't extend far - although in fairness neither did electric use for cooking - 90 seconds of microwave use is unlikely to skew things dramatically!
