    Over Winter you probably won't export much. For example we only exported 15kWh last November, and 2 each in December and January. Compared with 800+ over the Summer months.

    One option might be to keep your export with Octopus even though it drops to 4p/kWh. That might still be better overall if you get a good import tariff elsewhere.

    Can you do that, keep octopus for export and import from another provider?

    Yes, but you'll only get Octopus's basic SEG tariff which (I think) is ~4p/kWh.
    As above, solar generation will probably drop off a cliff in October and won't reappear until February.

    Thanks I’ll probably return to octopus in summer unless fuse start paying more, just got to check for penalties.
    mind you fuse is so much more user friendly and octopus has been a bit of a logistical mare!
