Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
This will be why there’s a free power hour - look at the wholesale price just now - there’s a lot of solar on the grid and the lower weekend demand…

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
20 kWh here
Tripped the mains fuse board, oops
Too many appliances on, should have turned the heat pumps instead but was juggling with solar peaks of 5 kw

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Too much wind again on Sunday, I shall not put as much into the battery overnight to leave space for 3.5 Kw at 1 pm.
Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
My Solar looks dire tomorrow so thats a nice little free top up.
