Your thoughts please Twitter. Just installed air source & 10kW Pv with storage for a customer. He is with Octopus and asking what’s the best tariff to go on?
@swebster56 Depends how tech savvy they are and how engaged they are with time shifting and watching prices. Agile has been doing well but requires managing so you don't fall foul of spikes in price. Flux/Cosy would be the most hands off option. Depends how long their battery can last them?
@swebster56 Tell him to download the Octopus Compare app - it will use his actual consumption over the past month (on the free version & the past year on the subscription version) to let him see how the different tariffs stack up. I was on Cozy Octopus, but now save around £60/m on Tracker
@swebster56 Intelligent Octopus Flux is a great solution for how you move sunshine energy from summer to winter (the import and export prices are the same) but you have to have a GivEnergy battery.
@swebster56 So long as customer happy to engage with dynamic pricing and program charge/discharge accordingly, then Octopus Agile, and probably Fixed Outgoing for PV. If they want to set and forget, then maybe Flux. (assuming decent size battery). netzerohome.uk/smart-tariffs
