I did well (not!):
You earned roughly 344 Octopoints – worth £0.42. You'll be able to see all your exact results per Session on your online results table within the next few days.
Ok, so that might not feel like a lot...
Too right, but no problem: we don't use much anyway, and not taking it from the mains at those times wasn't difficult!
I still haven't seen anywhere that shows that export at these times is especially lucrative. Maybe I shall be told when I get an export tariff.
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt

Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

Both of mine appeared earlier as well.

10680 points for 2/2 £13.35
7128 for 8/2 £8.91

£162 worth of points in total so far - I missed one session worth £35 due to metering issues :x
I'm hoping a live event might promote a higher return over a longer period - it does mention up to 4 hours, but nothing like that has happened yet.

You get paid at the same rate for export as you do for not using import - so £1.75 per kWh (I think) in the last 2 sessions. As I charge the batteries at 16p/kWh and also get paid 27p/Kwh to export in addition to the saving session (with Flux) - I would say it is worth it
Solar PV since July '22:
5.6kWp east/west facing
3.6kW Sunsynk hybrid inverter
2x 5.12kWh Sunsynk batteries
1.6kWp Hoymiles East/West facing PV on the man cave
Ripple DW 2kW
Ripple WB 200W

Not directly related to the saving sessions, but has anyone else's Octopus dashboard lost all export readings after the 4th January?
They were there up to Monday, then suddenly disappeared - very odd!
