Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

Forecast is completely wrong today. It was supposed to be a sunny day but is totally overcast. Ill struggle to have enough for tonight so may have to charge a little this afternoon.

The colder weather hasn't helped. I only managed to get 9.6kWh in the batteries last night due to temperature compared to the 10.6kWh they'd normally take from the min SOC to maximum.

I've often thought about getting another battery to take it up to 14.7kWh but like ron-ski mentions above, I'd struggle to fill it in winter on a 5kW inverter when its colder. Not to mention ill have 9.42kW in panels soon so Ill be less reliant on it for at least two thirds of the year. Then there's the fact I'd be worrying about the ceiling caving in with over 150kg up in the loft!

Just 2 people... If your rafters can't take that.

I've got 2x8.2kw givenergy with the gen1 inverter which can just about fill them in the IO 6 hour period.

7.68kWh exported, less 0.36 = 7.32 kWh times £2.25 = £16.47

That's £108 so far.

Pickers · 15 Dec 2023 at 18:07

3.5 exported.... Hopefully that will be about £7-8

reef · 15 Dec 2023 at 18:18

4.8kWh exported again so another £10.80 or so.

Up to £103 for the saving sessions so far.

Got my estimated figures for yesterday's session from the app.

14/12 £15.25 from 5.031kWh exported with a baseline of 1.749kWh giving a total of 6.78kWh

Pickers · 15 Dec 2023 at 18:46

Again 3.5 is the limit with a 3.6kw discharge rate boooo

Just broken through £300 mark.

That's pretty impressive!

Excluding today, the app suggests just shy of £107 for me.

5.6 dumped which seems a little high, expected 5.4 or 5.5, guess ill see tomorrow.

Based on previous £2.25 sessions that should bring my new total up to around £108.86

WTB more £4 90m sessions pls

Definitely need the remaining ones to be all £4 and 90 mins.....

Unfortunately I missed out on one of the £4 sessions due to some issue causing my meter readings to stop for a week.

£111.19 less maybe £10 or so for using grid elec instead of battery when holding for export

Ron-ski · 16 Dec 2023 at 11:59

@Mercenary Keyboard Warrior your grid import costs will be offset against what you get paid for the export as well.

I see there's a league table as well now.

yeah although I am only on 8p units on export vs 31p on import, every little helps

JackRegan · 16 Dec 2023 at 12:45

I must say that app is very useful.

alphaomega16 · 16 Dec 2023 at 14:47

Doing alright for myself
