Do Octopus have an upper export limit?

Morning all. My DNO export limit is 8kWs and what I am trying to find out is whether Octopus have an upper power or energy export cap that would scupper my calculations. Digging through T&C's isn't easy / fun.. Thanks in advance.

Whoops, please ignore. Just found the answer in FAQ's

"There's no limit to the export rate set on our tariff, or on your smart meter, and the total electricity you export per month isn't limited.

However, your solar system won't be able to handle exporting energy beyond a certain point. Your solar panel installer will have ensured their maximum output will be within the limit of the breaker in your home (usually between 40 and 100 amps)."

I've not seen one anywhere. And if they do, I'd expect it to be much larger than 8kW. It would be at the sort of export power where you stop being a microgenerator.

A quick Google suggests that the G99 upper limit might be 50kW.

I think you are confusing the maximum power you can export at (measured in kW) which is limited by the DNO and the units you get paid for (measured in kWh) by Octopus.
