Octopus Flux for Me?

Not entirely sure but I suspect we import more than we export.

The Flux day rate and cheap rates are still not too bad, compared with SVR.
Assuming you have a battery, and can use it to cover the peak period (4-7pm) and export any excess during that time, it may still work for you.
My average import price is currently working out at around 21.5p on Flux. I fully export my battery during the 4-7pm peak and then import from the grid for house load from 7pm through to around 6:30am when solar takes over. The battery charges a little during the 2-5am cheap rate slot to cover the period from 5am through to 6:30am when the sun comes up. The battery then recharges on excess solar during the day (10.2p) and gets exported in the peak for 29.35p.
