I think the principle is relatively sustainable, even if the precise import tariff level isn't. In some respects I think Flux will force the other corporations to change how they evaluate SEG. I think the future issue will be as BEV continue to proliferate if they end up having to extend the cheap ...

I do have to wonder how sustainable that tariff is. Nothing else out there even comes close. It will be interesting too see if it is still around in a couple of years. In the mean time I intend to make full use of it as soon as my solar is installed. Apparently it should not be long now.

Won't increase capacity any further, heat pump will have to fend for itself, though I am contemplating 200 litre thermal store to charge up from E7 before the heat demand begins in the morning. Would you be better off charging the battery a bit from E7 then using that to run the heat pump instead o...

That's pretty much the conclusion I came to, hence going for the strategy of buying as much as possible then reselling it.

Whilst financially your probably right, your view may change when you've been up and running for a few months. :mrgreen: I'm a tight arse so I'll probably just go with the numbers ... probably ;) I'm pretty sure I'm not going to rival your setup any time soon! It will be interesting to see how clos...

Richbee, depending on your tariff optimising for minimum import may not be the best strategy. For example with my flux simulations, I have a very high import and export as I'm effectively trading electricity between low rate and peak rate. This is hard on the battery though - around 400 cycles/year....

Have a you modelled intelligent Octopus? Charging the batteries overnight on 7.5p and using the power during the day… I just ran a sim using intelligent with my setup. As I don't have an EV, Flux is better. Total yearly bill on Intelligent import, 15p fixed export is £-588 (i.e they pay me £588) To...

I'm in the process of getting a solar installation and I got bored while waiting for the G99 to go through. To pass the time I thought I'd build a simulator to experiment with tariffs and battery options. It pulls in historical solar, tariff and usage data and simulates a solar installation at 30 mi...
