You not accounting for exported power though in your cost analysis, and given the government and Ofgem announcement that they are going to be increasing export payments then you could be making money back on exported units as well.
Can you export with Intelligent Octopus? I had assumed you can't.
They are Intelligent which has a 6 hour window.
Ah so with a single inverter I could only charge 21.6kWh (3.6 x 6).
Could I be charging the batteries and using additional electricity directly from the grid? Or would it all be going through the batteries, in which case I would need a 2nd inverter as at the end of the 6 hour period I would need the batteries to be 100% charged and I will have needed a 4.8kWh during that 6 hour period to keep everything else in the house going.

@katie279 Looks like there is a 5kW inverter? So that would remove the need for a 2nd inverter as it could charge 30kWh batteries over a 6 hour period?
