    Super helpful.    And I guess the challenge is I’ve no way of knowing what I’d be exporting in a year unless I changed our current household behaviour to avoid maximising the use of the solar when we’re home and it’s generating.    

    The old chicken and egg 
    The way I do it is to minimise peak usage, regardless of whether it's sunny or not.

    Apologies for bumping this thread, there didn't seem to be a better one and it didn't seem worth starting a new one.
    Ohme have recently updated their app. Some of the changes are helpful - for example they've moved the "solar boost" toggle up one level of menus, so it's easier to find.
    But they seem to have lost their tariff info, which means the cost of charging is no longer appearing against each session.
    Is anyone else getting this, or is it only me?
