Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

My Octopus data is up so my reward for yesterday at £13.21 less some units of course, but about £1.50 in input (after losses) in effect to gain £13 seems a win to me :)

So far:
1 £5.27, confirmed
2 £27.21, unconfirmed
3 £29.72, unconfirmed
4 £13.21, unconfirmed

Still says calculating for all of mine. Least that link works.
Yesterday was especially rubbish though because my average was down because of the previous days sessions.

around the time of saving session the draw in home is between 5-800w depending on if fridge freezer is on but that comes on quite frequently, uses about 2kwh a day so rather than full 6kw being exported im down to like 5.3-5.5kw

yeah i know, I have givenergy stuff, was just surprised your base load was high enough to generate the savings is what I meant. I'm doing full export but it's only 2.4kwh from my gen1 inverter.
 
Octopus calcs from 29th Nov are in - I saved 0.38 kWh and earned 1224 of their tokens.

My dehumidifier uses about 200-300W, so the figure is about right and all I can achieve in an hour. Without dehumidifier on, base energy use is only about 25W.

ah I see, my apologies for the confusion hehe. I got the All-In-One so could have earnt more if I went full export mode and just ran house off the grid.

Still nothing for 29th here, guess they are doing it in batches.

As far as I'm aware, you can't export and run house off the grid, if you export it will go to house load first, and then export to grid any excess that the house doesn't use.

Can't be importing and exporting to the grid at the same time.
