Say you use 10kWh between 5 and 6pm, that costs 30.5p x 10 = £3.05

The baseline is averaged over 10 days, so 10/10 = 1kW added to your baseline which pays an extra £4.00
What are the numbers if you cannot establish a positive baseline but could discharge at 2.5kW for the 90 minutes and do have an export tariff?
.
2.5kW x 1.5hrs x £4 = £15 or 12,000 Octopoints

Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated

I have a friend who is on octopus go but exports with Scottish power.
He exported a it 5 kWH in yesterday’s session but I’m not sure he’ll get the 3200 octopoints for exporting a kWh in a saving sessions.
Does anyone have an idea?

Good news, as everyone that opts in will get a minimum of 100 Octopoints! :)
I just opted in and got 8 points - as i never use peak time leccy i assume that's all I'll get.
I saw that it said that everyone who opts in will have their points rounded up to 100 points if you earned less than that in the session.
Well I only got the 8 point for opting in :( maybe you have to save something to get the 100points? Difficult to do if you normally use 0.00kwh.

Edit: actually no, looking again i don't get any points at all for opting into the sessions.
450W hydro-electric
5110W pv
1.3kw Wt2 - not yet producing
6kWh lead acid - maybe 1kwh useable
LiMnCo battery made from 2nd hand hybrid car modules 3.6kwh nominal 24v.
300lt hot water tank and two storage heaters
ASHP Grant Aerona 3 10.5kw and UFH

The 100 point minimum is for opting in to the second and third session.

Hmm.
Ok - you could be right . I've just check my octoplus page again and on closer inspection there are two savings sessions showing dated march and february! The november saving sessions (which i did opt into) don't seem to be showing at all?!

I think maybe i should email octopus...

There have been no results for the second session yet, its a minimum reward underpin, not a bonus on top like last year.

There was no 100 minimum for the first session.

3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)

And another session coming today - 4:30 to 6pm - same £4 per kWh saved as the other day :D - hope that Wednesday's exports don't count as part of your 10 day average to work out what is 'normal usage'
Solar PV since July '22:
5.6kWp east/west facing
3.6kW Sunsynk hybrid inverter
2x 5.12kWh Sunsynk batteries
