2.81 kWh saved (exported) at £2.25/kWh, 5064 points, equates to £6.33 credit.

Used @nowty calculation method, so historical import/export was basically 0 kWh, and I forced an export of 2.81 kWh across the 2 half hour periods.
Almost same here, 4424 points by force exporting for the first time :D
I'm already at pretty much zero import during that timeslot due to being on Flux tariff, with peak rate from 4-7pm
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

Would have thought there must be a reasonable chance of some saving sessions over the next 10 days :winter:

Yes windy, just been looking at the possibilities, no obvious slots, but if there has to be 1 more session in the remaining days of November then Tues or Wed would be my guess.

They might even spring a short notice one on knowing they wont have so many takers to pay out.

I looked back at some of the official docs and its "reasonable endeavours" to run 6 tests by the end of Dec at the guaranteed rate of £3 / kWh and another 6 during the remaining time which could be competitive tender depending on the volumes required. If less than 6 tests are run by the end of Dec 23, they will be carried forward and not be competitive tender.

So its 5 weeks till year end, maybe one a week. :xx:

Mine's "Still calculating". So I expect that means my savings are so miniscule as to be almost impossible for the system to parse the numbers!
I wonder at what point the cost of the cloud computational time/energy to calculate my savings outweigh the actual savings I may, or may not, have made?!

Mine is still calculating (pre export enabled :evil: ), hoping for the 8 points rounding error. But both my brother and mother should have saved something more tangible and theirs are still calculating too.Image
