Octopus Power Ups and Free Energy Sessions

got my oil filled radiators out of the garage and plugged them into some 13A Amazon smart plugs I had, configured them to come on at 2pm and off at 3pm. If these free hours become a thing over winter should hopefully help to reduce the cost of the gas central heating a bit, every little helps.
 
I’d be roasting if I had any heaters on - it’s 22c outside :eek: .

Although I do have 4 fan heaters in the garage I can deploy if it carries on into the heating season.

It was more to test that it works ok, might need to see if there's any way to schedule these to turn on and off automatically during these sessions instead of having to do it manually.

Had the dishwasher on a 1 hour cycle, heated the hot water, tested my electric radiators, plugged in the car although it's not scheduled a charge so I'll get the charge credit for that and it can charge overnight. Should be easier to spot this one crediting back as it will be at full rate and not 7p rate due to no scheduled charge.
 
Only had 3.27kWh of solar in the free session, but it was the highest generation hour of the day, so managed to import 8.2kWh, which included boosting the hot water to 60c which used 1.59 kWh.

Managed to put a total of 8.69 kWh in the battery during the session.
