I’m probably below 2kWh on a 60min SS. Will work I. It tomorrow, can add 1kWh to my baseline with a well-executed boost…

Octopus stopped the charging in the peak 5-7pm slot and forgot to re-start the charge :hysteria:
When I got another schedule later later on last night until 7am the octopus stayed sleeping…….

Had a little rinse this evening. Maths really are compelling! 10kWh at 7.5p/kWh = 75p of cost, this creates 1kWh of baseline which nets me £4 in a real SS and £2.30 in a test SS. There is even a possibility I’ll be able to use it across more than one SS (but on the other hand there could be no SS).
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

I'm still bullish about Friday or towards the end of next week, definitely maybe sometime before the end of the month. :lol:

But the longer we wait the higher the baseline gets pumped. :twisted: , unless they do it on a weekend or a morning one. :evil:

Hope you’re right nowty about friday :xx:
Octopus love to stop my car charging between 5-7pm and keep forgetting to start it again.
Not too bothered as the octopus gives me an 11 hr slot but would be a bit of a bu**er if I needed the mileage
