Away to Turkey for a bit. Would have been good to work the export from there (if the sun comes out). Hopefully get into it in Sept.
Took import & export meter totals to see if the house is completely self reliant with only No1 son using the place
Are you sure they are going to do this ?
Tbh, I'm unsure. The Octopus now has mcs certificate and DNO aknowledgement of the pv system. I guess I'm standing by for instructions? Thanks for showing how it went for your application. Now I know how it should go! I took photos of a BG fit paper so I've got some info to use if I need to contact them while in Turkey as SWMBO since the fit's in her name.nowty wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 1:05 pmAre you sure they are going to do this ?
I had to contact British gas myself to opt out and send Octopus confirmation from British Gas that my FIT deemed export had ended before they would set up my export MPAN.
From Octopus.
From British Gas.
Once I had sent that to Octopus the export MPAN was applied pronto.
Once I hear back from Octopus in a few days I'll get in touch with BG and let them know. Cheers! I'm on the long game in my head for this. Not expecting fast results!nowty wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 2:57 pm Also I phoned my request into British Gas and was told I would get an email confirmation when its done and I specifically asked twice to make sure I would get notification. Heard nothing for 2 weeks, so I emailed them. I then got the reply within a couple of hours and it had been done when I phoned but no email until I chased them.![]()
Thats the rub with DC coupled charging and forced AC coupled discharging, your not even losing any battery cycles.
It is rather magnificent. I've started the test again from poolside. Exporting for free as the weather is right for it. Our export meter stood at 1,001kWh reading on departure. Interested to see what I can export with no restriction to No1's use of the home. HWT to be maxed out, enough juice for multiple washing machine runs, cooking (microwave & airfryer) and beer cooling. I'll pm u on a wrinkle nowty.
