Question, I applied for an mpan earlier in the week but can find no reference for it in my account/dashboard or even confirmatory email. How long until I should expect to hear something or will the mpan simply arrive??

I could see some progress on my account (web version, not the app). There was a mini progress box which showed me which stage they were at. I never received any emails. The steps generally followed the stages outlined in their blog. https://octopus.energy/blog/outgoing-update/

 
Yeah March 2023 has been horrendous for sun light, literally yet to have a completely clear day since the 20th Feb 2023 here.

What slightly frustraits me further is we get shading from about mid October from next doors roof, which I am guessing by about mid March we are clear of again, but unfrotunately because of the lack of sun it's been pretty hard to spot or see when it starts to go completely clear.

Its doing my head in a bit, like a mild version of that SAD disease and my mind is thinking we should be getting more sun by now.
 
I beat Feb on the 25th, but considering Feb was very high vs my prediction it makes it difficult to consider if that was reasonable. I mean if Feb matched my Feb forecast i would have beaten it by the 21st.
My March forecast was 343, and it looking like I am falling a chunk worse than 300. I am at 257 so 275-285 is the range I think is likely.

Avg for Feb was 8.2/day and March so far is 9.2/day.
Considering the difference in daylight hours, the sun being higher as well thats far too low a gain per expectations.

yup i agree there, my daily average is down on what we had in february and as it stands now, with 2 days to go and looking at the weather, its touch and go whether we beat or match february
 
Typical. Watched the forecast this morning and it gave the mist to blow after 1pm. Reality it didn't move till about 4pm, sun peeking out now as its near time to disappear! :(
 
5.9kWh today after 3.1kWh yesterday. Batteries at 20% so they'll run out overnight.

On 300kWh exactly for the month so far, which is surprising as it has been quite a dull March.
 
6.15 today and revised 27th upwards from 14 to 14.7 now solax have fixed the data

Month is 264 now which is 79 short of forecast with 2 days to go.
Wont make 300 for sure but hopefully 280-290 is just about possible, although I think 275 is probably now practically certain.

Forecast looks iffy for next couple of weeks still, although later in that forecast is sun/rain so hopefully some sunny spells will be seen.
I need about 10kwh a day from the panels to be only importing 7.5p units so it doesn't take much sun now with the power and height when its out

9.2 today, not a lot yesterday. I thought March had been ok in general but it is my first full month. Looking at over 400kWh for March compared to 99.8 for the last 11 days in Feb. Will see what the bills look like but I seem to have covered 80% of my consumption. Exported 77kWh and imported 92. Only 9kWh of usable battery.
