Maybe this is common with new export customers.

Monstrous PV generation today at Nowty Towers, a PB for 2024.
23kWh including the DC coupled system.

It happens every winter. ;)

I have to request my export each month since I signed up, and do a manual reading and email it to them.
But it gets processed, and credited, the same day.

Its that green crap again. :lol:

Middle of winter in an electrically heated house and my IOG cheapslot to peak ratio is 99.96%, I think my best ever ratio. :twisted:

Also in that same period,
Add on the export credit and the bill is £164.
Add on £46 for the Saving Sessions Octopoints and the bill is £118.
Add on my FITs and the rest of the bill is wiped out. :shock:
The Ripple rebate of £400+ buys more green crap. :xx:

Not quite net negative in kWh though :evil: , but next year with Ripple Kirk Hill and maybe Derril Water adding in, I think I will be net negative in kWh.
Not only on a yearly basis but also in the depths of winter. :mrgreen:

1kWh of peak electric all month?

I’m happy if I’m below 1kWh per day!
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

(Artist formally known as ******, well it should be obvious enough to those for whom such things are important.)

My normal was about 7kWh per month peak but now I have the export tariff, no problem setting the inverter to let 20W constantly trickle out to the grid as I'll be paid for it. :mrgreen:
