Its a test session and standard payment terms.

OMG my baseline for that time is fully loaded. :twisted:
What is your baseline now, mine has crept up from 8 to just under 12, which is handy for the league as you keep snapping at my heels :hysteria:
Hisever 2 new batteries an upgraded inverter and a second inverter hopefully will help me keep up with your exporting :oO:
How do you get a 12kWh baseline?
I use a lot of electric everyday, and have shifted charging batteries, car charging and hot water to 5-7pm weekdays. It would be higher but Tesla hasn’t been home a couple,elf days between 5-7pm so no energy use at those times as using home batteries.

Funny enough my baselines about 12kW as well, it would have been higher if it was a 5:00pm to 6:00pm slot, but we cant have everything. :surrender:

All on IOG cheapslot too, my usage just time shifted. :)

I reckon this is going to be a £45 payout session for me once the export is added. :xx:
I’ll accept defeat now, I can only export at 2.6 less my house use which rarely goes below 1 kWh when exporting……. :surrender:

I would not be surprised if we have another session tomorrow or an outside chance on Friday. After that the wind is blowing very strong for the rest of the month and its going to be much milder so if they need to have two sessions in a month I can't see any other time.

I got home from work at 17:26, wife telling my I can't turn the lights on, oh and there's a coffee on the side for you. Feet up for an hour and catch up on some Youtube on the tablet.

My baseline is 0.02 kWh, and I exported 7.78 kWh, so that is 7.8 or £17.55 :D

That went like clockwork, I am expecting a saving of 20kWh+ :)

Cool. Software worked a treat. I got auto-enrolled at 1030 or 1100. Then the battery got used until it hit the minimum required to service the period. Finally the inverter switched into zero grid usage at the correct time. All whilst at work :)

Just need my export tariff so I can make proper money. For all that effort I probably saved about £5 😂

:hysteria: 1 year, we'll see. They are soaked..

SWMBO had an idea, ordered some more of the motion sensor nightlights we have on the bed end here in Scotland for Turkey. Just for the peeing you understand but also for the powercuts out there off the back of tonights self-induced one. :D
