Solar panel production figures

Can't wait for them to do something about the firmware on my battery, had to call them up today as I got a yellow light on the portal, had never seen that before, it was after comms stopped so had to reboot the aio and they were having a look and said it was just because it was idle, its been idle the past month and ive never seen it.

Anyway they done a 5 minute charge to see if anything would change that I noticed on the portal remote options and then saw this.

What a difference a day makes. Today so far 7.20kWh produced. Unfortunately, I was away and let the battery charge from grid overnight. Learning more every day lol
 
GivEnergy - I wonder if it's better than octopus flux for the faff? I don't think it's always £2/kWh is it? Also it's not clear if they pay you outside of the "events" - I think I'm going to stick to Flux.

Simply "octopus flux" isn't a managed service... Is it?

Octopus should be offering similar rates. If you dont export during the peak window already you'll be good to go probably.

8.4 for me today as well.

I just don't have enough information about their export. I mean in October I still made £50 from flux so that's good enough for me and I can choose when to export/import.

I'm worried that this system is not daily, and just to top up the grid on poor days. So not sure what happens when you're having a really good day of export and you're not using this rate?
