This is the first time I have tried exporting during a saving session, changed the settings for the battery at about 2PM and it immediately started charging. Once fully charged it sat doing nothing with the house load being supplied from the grid, at 5PM it started discharging to grid and house loads. Looks like I managed to export 4.8kWh but will have to see what Octopus says.

I suppose you have an export tariff, I could have exported some but as i
I am on deemed export and standard tariff I guess it wouldn't have counted.

My meter does log exports but doesn't show it on the indoor display for some reason.

I think I got 9kWh out, plus another 1kWh out earlier in the day due to filling the battery earlier from unexpected solar production.

Looking like a gross income of around £38.50?

Batteries: 14.4kWh LiFePO4 batteries (Pylontech US5000*3)

I should have got over 11 kWh out but there will be a little negative baseline to subtract.

I've only been on export for 7 days so don't know if my export MPAN is yet eligible or not. :?

So it will either be around £1.50 for normal export or over £40 for the full monty, either way, I, the Octopus and the Grid all win. :mrgreen:

Joeboy definitely found the right music track for tonight.

Did my head in yesterday, I was all ready to start exporting, but the inverter didn't want to play. I was sure the settings were the same as the last one, but it started importing instead of exporting. I changed the settings a few times, and eventually started exporting around 5:15. Looks like around 4kWh exported, which isn't bad.
I then thought I had set everything back to normal again for the cheap slot charge overnight, but obviously not - forgot to re-tick 'charge from grid' in battery settings :head-bang:

Wonder if there will be another session soon - weather hasn’t changed much and we’re burning everything to keep up on the Grid again.
