Does anyone know how you find out what your baseline is?
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

£2900/MWh and they give a poxy amount to reduce consumption, shows they are not really serious!!

Just read Ireland is having similar...

" a demand record may be on the cards in Ireland tonight with the demand looking to hit a nice round 7500MW. The system operators have declared a Margin Warning in effect for the evening and with most generation running (alongside activation of DSR response) there is a reduction in interconnector imports as GB is also struggling with an equivalent margin warning. Tomorrow's demand forecast is even higher for the evening peak at 7550MW"

I am currently on a cheapslot (even though I signed up). Octopus is still trying to charge the car!

Yeah that often happens. Makes a mockery of the whole "intelligent" concept.

7.94kWh exported, baseline will be pretty much zero.

That certainly warmed the batteries up, they were 10c and are now 15c.

This worked well last year, and seems to have been updated for this year - it hadn't a few weeks ago. It used to show the baseline as well for the current days session, but doesn't currently.

have you finished? I find that if I set mine to export from 1600 then when the batt gets to the bottom of my export limit (15%) - which should see me through to 2 a.m. - then it stops exporting but doesn't start feeding the house but imports at peak rate instead! Which it has just started doing! Getting it to stop that is sometimes a bit of a struggle.
Thanks for the prompt to check it, I started exporting at 1730 but have switched if off now... How I wish I had bought 2 big batteries rather than just the one!
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
