Apparently I didn't save enough but at the same time saved 182%.
To be honest though, I don't use any grid power at that time unless something has gone wrong.

8 Octopoints (1p) for me (100% saving) and 56 Octopoint (7p) for my father (15% saving) and he did not even try and save anything. :lol:

Not as lucrative as last year as they rounded the savings up to 1kWh whereas this year it seems to be rounded up to the nearest penny. :geek:

But if they do a night time one I'll probably make more money than the whole of last years event. :twisted:

Email just in from Octopus..
You saved 0.06kWh and earned 1112 OctoPoints – worth £0.14.
You made an even bigger change than most – you were one of the top 10% of Savers, and have earned our Super Saver Bonus! That's an extra 1000 OctoPoints, worth £1.25.
Top 10% of savers for 0.06kWh, not sure how they worked that out :)

Same here, its because I saved 100% !, I'm going offgrid again next time, its like taking candy from a baby. :twisted:

Super Saver Bonus and SWMBO even had the washing machine on. :o

So including the bonus that's a reward rate of £420 per kWh for my 0.003kWh saving, I don't make the rules. ;)

Normally my 4.8kwh battery doesn’t last till 5pm (unless it was a sunny day). Dialled down the discharge current and when 5pm hit, ramped it up.

Looks like I'm going offgrid again to grab that Super Saving Bonus of 1000 Octopoints. :twisted:

I signed up for tomorrow's too, I seem to have 80 points already but don't know how I managed to have only reduced by 46% when i and nearly 100% off grid for 20hrs a day

The £2.25 per kw would be nice
16 250w Trina panels
Voltronic Axpert Max 8Kw hybrid inverter
3 x Chinese 125Ah (19Kwh total) batteries
To be done, more panels and a wind turbine
Off Grid 20 out of 24hrs
