Opted in, but we'll be cooking dinner, but I'll export whatever is spare, not having a late dinner for mere pennies.

I've got baseline of 0.3kwh still so will opt in.
Sunny and batts are around 80% so if I hit 100% they may get 1-2kwh from me during the session

Opted in today but won't do anything special. Made 57p on yesterday's session.

Not opting in today either at 13p

Opted in but I will sparingly export if I have the power available.

No from me. just encourages low payment.

I had a slight technical hitch, got home from work, checked my phone and the system was pulling house load from the grid, luckily the batteries were fully charged.

Seems I forgot to make the grid setpoint negative :cry:

I had noticed that error last night, then forgot to fix it.

Consider that a complaint against the low rates. Pulled 1.2kWh, now discharging to grid at 5kWh as the oven etc is on.

Should have exported another 4.7 approx. If they keep doing 2 a week it will soon add up.

I managed 3, which is an additional 39p :cry:

I guess it all adds up, and I'll be exporting anyway tonight.

I exported 3.7, I ended it 15 mins early as I didn't want to run out later tonight. In hindsight, I probably could have exported for the full session as I am still at 30% battery and the heat pump will drop off in 15 mins.

I managed around 4.6kWh this time as we didn't have much on. Every little helps I guess.

Meh exported for 10 minutes as I forgot.
Wasn't planning to send a lot though.
Batt is 45% so I could have done another couple of kwh of export.

I am not really bothered at these prices however.
