Looks like dinner may be half hour later this evening. Will need to dust off the brain cells for powering up the battery.

Snap - added bonus we are almost full sun forecast today so hoping no supplemental charging from grid necessary today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Pah no sun in sunny-less Essex, last two days exported 25kWh, today looks like being 40% of consumption today😭

Take heart in that your last couple days of export is more than half of our entire January generation to date!

Unfortunately this is the only weekday this week we're forecast for cloud, which is what I'm looking at. Have had 2 days where the battery filled to 100% and we got a tiny bit of export going on for the first time in months. Tomorrow and Friday are forecast sunny here.

Based on the way I have engineered my usage that should be around £12-15 in credit if it is £3 per kWh which would be a nice little bonus, hopefully a couple more before the end of the month as well.

£3 is what Octopus get, we're likely to get £2.25 of that. Should be about £6 to £8 for me, would have been twice that if the session started at 17:00. As you say, makes a worthwhile difference.
