Looks like it could be a Live session for tomorrow.

And we know what that means. :twisted:

All my batteries are virtually full, sunny day today and sunny tomorrow, so electric heating tonight.

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

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. :roll: :roll:

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.
