[nowty]

Its on !

5pm to 6pm tonight, probably be standard terms of £2.25 kWh from the Octopus.

Watch out for the opting in as it might open very close to the actual session, I'm sure someone will prompt on this thread.

At home with a full battery and solar diverter disabled, game on.

Octopus have me set up for being paid for export as of today.

I'm guessing I shouldn't export during today's SS though 'cos they won't have enough data?

I am fairly sure you need at least 5 working days of export data to get the big booty, but you might as well have a go as you have nothing to lose, you still get the 15p / kWh because your export tariff is live.

Octopus App says 1700 to 1800, WhatsApp group says 1730 to 1830. Communication issue?

100% its 17:00 to 18:00, I've even checked the National Grid DFS Utilisation Report.

Either edited after the fact, or more likely I read the wrong message

I'll be saving energy by not being at home.

I don't mind helping out when I can. To a point though,
