Outgoing Octopus

I was doing a dry run yesterday in getting to my target record of 100 kWh export in a single day and without any help from grid power in the actual 24 hour day. I was not expecting to achieve it but I actually managed it during the dry run in good but non ideal conditions.

I used some extra cheapslots on IOG to charge the battery up before midnight the previous day but I only managed to get it to about 80% so I only set the export to 3kW overnight, a figure which would make an attempt on the 100+ difficult later on.

SWMBO was not here so that helped minimising the house load during the run.

It was touch and go later on and the battery finished with about 13% left which for me is very low.




The Octopus has confirmed the new daily 100+ export record at 102.3 kWh.

I have decided to go for a 2MWh export record for this month of June.

Only 9 days to go and I need another 658kWh to export which works out at a daily 73kWh export. My average this month so far is only 64kWh export per day but the recent week has been of that target order and the weather forecast looks promising.

Last June I only imported about 4kWh which cost £1 and I earned on deemed export about £25. And I only exported 113kWh for the whole month.

If I make my 2MWh export target that will be a £300 credit minus about £50 or so on the overnight imports, so looking at about £250 profit in a single month. Or another way of looking at it, 10 times last years deemed export income in the same month.

At this rate the export will pay for ALL energy imported at Nowty Towers for the entire year. And thats before Ripple project rebates, Saving sessions and FIT generation payments.

Its that green crap again.

Another 100+ kWh exported yesterday in an almost perfect day and looks like being similar today.
Thats a net £13 for today and my ripple windfarm GF made me 13p.

My 2MWh export in a month target (for £300 credit) looks increasingly certain.

With a few decent solar days, still not had a perfect day, I’m exporting an average net 15kwh a day this month. Usage is going to be around 1.8Mwh of off peak.
Have had to use the cooling function on the heat pumps, the last couple of days, but the radiator cooling has worked pretty well.
Bedroom was cooled from just over 28 c anto 22c and kept at that temp overnight.
Heat pumps seem efficient at cooling only using 1/1.5 kWh

Cheers Guys, just to add my totals so far for June, then Export 1.21 MWh's, Import 1.07 MWh's. The latter having been inflated by 150 kWh's from our neighbours long range TMY topping up overnight on three ocassions.
Struggling to get my head around all the figures but looking back at last months Octopus statement then credit from Exports exceeded Imports by £89, so guess we are on the right side. With glorious sunny days experienced presently then this month might just see that stretch to three figures.

Edit. Thanks for posting figures on cooling with ASHP via radiators, I hadn't previously considered it practical but you've shown me otherwise. As an aside is there any evidence of condensation forming on radiators or pipework?

Another good month, my export credit via Octopus Outgoing is now significantly more dominant than my Ripple rebates but not as much as FITs, that will add another £500+ for this month.

Nowty you're just milking this green crap!

Me thinks the soon to be operational Fintray battery room will be giving me stiff competition.

Oh, what could have been!



And would have still been exporting.

Ha Ha, that might be the case if the grey clouds up here didn't provide such effective insolation isolation...
