    Oh boy, I hope people don't take their 'solar sunglasses' wording literally.

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Hmmmmmmm - whats the betting the 'free hour' on Sunday equates with a negatively priced hour on Agile? However, given prices of 50.70 - 62.53p per kWh, I'll quite happily switch everything off for a couple of hours!

    Deep seated hatred of Scottish Power and all who sail in her - would love to see Ofgem grow a pair and actually do something about it.

    The free hour on Sunday will definitely be worth it this time - the weather is not looking great here on Sunday so unlikely to be too much solar, meaning I should be able to charge the battery, heat the hot water and run a 90C cleaning cycle in the washing machine plus any other high use activities we can think of.

    I will set the battery to export later this evening (6-7pm) to ensure we are more negative than usual in that period, which should mean we qualify.

    Up's & down's of different tariff's. For me that is a hours free charging & depending on the time a load of washing etc.

    Last 2 saving sessions 48 & 16 points, all with no change in usage (no battery or solar)

    Odds on free hour 14:00 to 15:00 👍

    How good is this …. tonights DFS auction which it appears Octopus didn't take part in,there are some bids in excess £900/MW and there are many in excess of £200-800 between 1800and2100 hours . The only bids rejected are those over £1000/MW as far I can see.🤷🏻
