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. :twisted:

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.

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