Yup. But despite my warning, husband has had lights on in kitchen😡 We’re low users around this time of day so not much chance to save anything meaningful.MeteredOut said:Anyone else sitting in the dark?

Have been to the garage 3 times to check the inverter is exporting. The Solis app seems to have jammed and not showing that we're exporting anything. Never had this happen before. Very odd.

I actually forgot until just gone half past. I don't think the heat pump was doing anything anyway though as so far the usage appears to be pretty much baseline, with everyone else out.0

im on a growatt system, and I am showing absolutely zero export for this period…

Looking at the Agile prices I'm not sure why this saving session is being done, supply doesn't look very tight, very little gas generation at this moment and overall grid demand is fairly normal0

It was a test session, not a live event. Yesterday would have been the better option from a supply perspective, but the purpose of the tests are to gather data to better understand the factors that influence customer behaviour rather than reducing generation from dirty fuels per se.Veteransaver said:Looking at the Agile prices I'm not sure why this saving session is being done, supply doesn't look very tight, very little gas generation at this moment and overall grid demand is fairly normal

As I understand it today's session reveals the following.
1) Greed of suppliers in the bidding process
2) Uptake/or lack of uptake due to the lower payouts
3) Late notice for the event and numbers opted in.0 -
I switched off at the isolator today, so saved the 14Wh I have previously used in saving sessions.0
