I don't think I will take part in the saving session any more with using the three hour before trick, I have worked out it cost £2 more than I received in octopoints on the last one and my batteries didn't charge the following night so can't even check if I saved because of having a higher charged battery in the GO charging time.
I might still sign up to have the chance to win the prize
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

I can't fail to benefit as I use zero during the saving slot. It could well be a more then £2.25 per KWh this time, with it being a live one and longer than an hour, he says hopefully.
My house is probably already glowing now on the Police helicopter infra red camera and you know what that means.

Possible requirement published.
Looks like it could be a Live session for tomorrow.
And we know what that means.

Don't smoke too much of it
Mine said I saved 99% and others 100% but I used 27 kWh during the special time at 39.5p a kWh and I received just over £8 in points.
I am 99.9% off grid because the other 0.1% seems to be my inverter using 1p an hour for incoming voltage checking and failover, during the summer I will just switch off the incoming completely as long as my battery gets charged during the day and maybe install a breaker controlled by the onboard relay to turn it on just in case.

You should have got about £20, circa 16,000 Octopoints.
Are you sure you got the 3 hour in day adjustment window right, its not quite the 3 hours before, it starts 4 hours before the savings session starts and finishing 1 hour before the saving session starts.
