Octopus - all sorted, now what ?
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2025 3:57 pm
Okay, I am changed over to Octopus and had confirmation that I am on the Flux Import tariff and today they asked for the startup meter reading on the Export side which has duly been provided.
I've been online and confirmed that they now have me able to export and all their checks have passed.
The silly bit is I am unsure about is what do I configure on my system to actually make it export at various times etc ?
I have;
16 panels producing 7kWp
FOXESS 5kw Hybrid 1 Phase Inverter
2 off FOXESS 4.8kWh batteries
I import between 0200 and 0500 to top up the batteries at cheap rate every day.
As I sit here, the batteries are full and I am still getting on the portal that I am still generating 1.8kW and the pretty diagram says I am exporting that although I am not totally convinced as my system puts excess power into the immersion heater/hot water tank via myenergi EDDI unit and seems to be confused as to which is export to Octopus and which is export to the hot water tank.
How do I set the system to specifically export during the sweet spot time of 1600hrs to 1900hrs on the Octopus Flux tariff ?
