Karl340 I’m on flux as well and in fact was looking at my figures this morning to work out what I’m going to do.
September averages:
- daily home consumption 15kW
- daily import 6kW (including about 6 octopus power up events)
- daily export 17kW
- peak solar generation 8kW/day, 27kW/day generated
- profit £2.67/day
October to date averages:
- daily consumption 13.7kW
- daily import 5kW
- daily export 9kW
- peak solar generation 6kW/day, 20kW/day generated
- profit £1.50/day
I don’t have a car but I do have an ASHP that typically consumes about 10-20kW/day in winter so when I turn the heating on the figures will change dramatically.
Whilst I’m still generating enough to fill the battery most days, now with a cheap rate overnight partial top up I plan to remain on flux for the 28p export rate that’s enabling me to make a profit every day. As the solar drops to the point that I have to more or less rely on the cheap rate period and stop exporting I plan to change, either to Cosy, Economy 7 or Tracker. I’m hoping to not change onto Tracker until December and then be on tracker for 3 months then back to flux.
Gotta look at winter solar predictions next …
