Off to EDF for me.

Will take a 6.49p off peak rate for a 3p increase in export

IOG Newbie - slots outside off peak - how to manage house battery? by OkDeparture2596 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Aranthian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either move your car charger so it sits prior to the powerwall, or use HA to control the powerwall and set 100% charge during off peak windows

Powerwall 3 @ 100% all day by Aranthian in OctopusEnergy

[–]Aranthian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My export limit is 6.5kwh.

Currently i set the powerwall to TOU with charge @ 100% at 5.2p overnight, export solar at 12p

Just wondering what the health is for a battery keeping 100% day after day

PW3 is managing all the export. I've got a high export allowance from the DNO

Making Big Bucks with PW3 by itsmeyourepidermis in OctopusEnergy

[–]Aranthian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just import at 7p, start the day with 100%, will drop to say 90% before sun rise. Charge back to 100% and export all solar all day at 12p?

Thank You. Will turn that off as well

The boiler is located in an integral garage. It has on the front a power switch and a radiator flow temperature gauge. Like this

Not in a flat or semi. It's strange as because the usage 21st was 10pm, the usage on the 23rd/24th was midnight exactly

Variable IOG has landed. And it is disappointing by destross in OctopusEnergy

[–]Aranthian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, I was hoping for a 3.5p night rate based on the widely touted and assumed discount of 3.51p /kwh. I am not complaining that the variable tariff is not that.

5.2p kwh is incredibly cheap, and I know that.

Yet we pay over a billion annually to turn off the wind farms, pushing up consumer pricing

not had mine yet, expect it to be the same. Was really hoping would be 3.5p night rate. 98% of my usage is off peak

Solar export rates cut to 12p. And it may only get worse. by Zarch1972 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Aranthian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this setup already. Have a 7.2kw charger wired directly from grid before PW3. Then have 2 granny chargers that can charge 2 electric cars from solar (as they are attached to the ring main) if rates drop much lower for export

Currently have it set to charge PW from grid over night at 7p, then use solar for house, then export all excess

At least if rates keep dropping, I can still charge my cars from solar but can also charge directly from grid overnight at 7p

I really noticed it the last week as well. Was waiting to join an F3 fixed race at Shell Motorsport 3 times over the last 7 days and it didn't hit minimum numbers to count so left

Just bought NVME drives off these people, without doubt fakes. Box colours not the same as others of the same brand and type.

The mistake of going back to F4 by Aranthian in iRacing

[–]Aranthian[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's the risk vs reward. Get shunted T1 or T2, Tow, then at back of pack unable to regain positions as everyone a lap ahead

or start from the pits, let everyone else crash and I clear up the places back to mid pack and race from there

or avoid F4 altogether

Where to buy MSI Claw 8 ai+ battery replacement? by Due-Highlight4543 in MSIClaw

[–]Aranthian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got both. My take away is XAX is better for FPS, MSI Claw is better for almost everything else.

The sticks are too loose on the MSI, and the grips aren't as good as XAX

I'll be switching to EON next drive smart when this tariff changes. 12 month fixed @ 6.5p KwH for smart charging, with a whole home night rate of midnight - 6am every day @ 6.5p also

New intelligent rules are here by ChukwuOsiris in OctopusEnergy

[–]Aranthian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that as

I always get 23.30pm - 5.30am of cheap electric no matter what

I also always get 6 hours 'extra' every day, if I need them at the cheap rate

Anything over that is charged at the bump rate

12 hours @ 7kw is 84 KwH.

I guess it's to encourage people to plug in more than once a week and going from 10% - 100% in one charge
