Nice. Have signed up, although got no ability to change anything at home this evening so we'll see if it makes any difference.

Now Octopus, don't be greedy and bust your bid. :fight:

Single phase, it can be set up as a plant system?

Thanks 94JDH
GivEnergy have confirmed over the phone your set up, which I’ll be aiming to use.
Thanks for all your help hugely appreciated.
My gen 3 inverter is calibrating as I post and I only have about 3 kWh left :facepalm: which won’t last the saving session
I hope it doesn’t start charging at 6:50pm :xx:

That's good news - anything else just PM me.
No, you don't want to be importing - that'll mess up your baseline! :xx:
