    Sunday as expected (by me) Octopus didnt bid.

    I managed 3.6kWh during the 1100 free hour despite 2.4kWh of PV. AT 1200 IOF expects me to pay 22.17p/kWh whilst agile users get 2.3p for using it. The good news will get 28.15p when I export it 1600-1900.

    4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex . Aint no sunshine ☀️ Octopus gas fixed 5.07 + Octopus Intelligent Flux leccy

    I had 12:00 to 13:00 and I think I am close to the 16kWh. It's quite warm in here!

    12-13 for me so whatever starts it can finish during a cheap 13-16 period. Too warm to go crazy with heating but..

    3kWh hot water tank

    1kWh half run of dishwasher + full run of washing machine

    1kWh of cooking.

    £1.25 back.

    kept a close eye on our live usage - at one point jumped to switch off the heater as we were topping out at 18.9kwh. We used just under 16kWh

    Lounge is a balmy 18.9 degrees (was 17.5 before the session and we are open plan)

    I booked 11am - 1pm. Managed 2 washing machine loads, 1 dishwasher cycle, vacuumed much of the house. Had also intended to mow the lawn, but with the weather being changeable I decided against that. Was expecting the in-home display to indicate that the cost of the electricity used was higher than it shows. Oh well, every little helps!
