Hello everyone,

Many thanks again for all of your helpful replies. Im not sure Octopus will allow me to switch to GO , it doesn't give me the option on the app.
I have 2 PV systems, the original one fitted 10 plus years ago which I get a very good FIT and the deemed Export tariff. I had an ...

Hi Dave,

Thanks again for your reply , you are so helpful!
The Octopus Go would suit us better so ill see if I can switch to that .

Hello,

Can anyone make sense of what is happening with our current set up?

At present we produce little or no solar due to the time of year. We are on Octopus Flux so I am charging the batteries overnight from 0200 to 0600 (lower rate of elec from 0200 to 0500) aiming to use them rather than ...

We charge the batteries overnight using the low ish Octopus Flux Tarrif . They run out during the day and I charge them again an hour or so before the higher rate kicks in between 4pm and 7 pm . It ...

Thanks Dave ,
Got it !

Another quick question, where do I look to see what the current battery temperature is ? Sorry if this is a stupid question

Hi Dave,

Thank you so much for responding . I'll have a look at this. I cant think what could be on..... Would the oil central heating kicking in about 6.30 am do it ?

Anyway, Ill have a good look at it and many many thanks for the advice, really appreciated.

No EV Charger either

Hi Dave,

No heaters on at night . I figured the big draw is the batteries charging over night from 0100 to 0600.

Hi,

I have been charging our batteries overnight on the slightly cheaper Octopus Flux tariff. The last 2 nights I have noticed that the batteries have charged up to 100% then discharged to about 40 to 50%. This is happening during the night when there is very little draw from the grid as most ...

I can’t get any readings from the App and am away from home . Does anyone have this patches moment?

Hello,
New to all of this. The App went off line, no idea why. Is there a method of reconnecting it? We have had no instruction from our installers about what to do in this event.
Any advice gratefully received.
Many thanks
