    Is it worth moving to Octopus Intelligent Go or another tariff?

    Extra heat as early starters and others later. Mind may change this based on experience. Good news is that everything is now working, having settings competed on both the app and PC seemed to be the problem with the eddi. The batteries not charging during off-peak issue, as I needed to set the...

    Is it worth moving to Octopus Intelligent Go or another tariff?

    It is the 'Dont start boosting' that is confusing, I would have thought setting it start 0, would have resulted in 30 mins of full price electric, but could well be wrong. I have now attached screenshot of the settings from the app. Hopefully it looks the same as yours, John? If so, I will...

    Is it worth moving to Octopus Intelligent Go or another tariff?

    Tried the app and the PC to set it up. The app start time, select every day and duration, save and wait for app to process. Also, triad via the web, start and end time but online also shows duration in minutes, max 360.

    Is it worth moving to Octopus Intelligent Go or another tariff?

    We have been on Go now for just over a week. Mind getting frustrated with the Solax X1-Hybrid-G4-5.0 as well as the eddi. Not every night do the batteries charge during off-peak, adjusted the setting without success. Now spotted elsewhere that Charge/Discahrge1 and 2 have to set the same, so...

    Is it worth moving to Octopus Intelligent Go or another tariff?

    EDIT: Attached settings are correct/work for me for charging from grid overnight. :) Note not all Solax Inverters have a setting in 'Work mode' to 'Force Time Use' apparently that setting is not the same for all inverter. 'Self Use' is recommended by Solax Support for MODEL...

    Is it worth moving to Octopus Intelligent Go or another tariff?

    Thanks both @johnb2713 2713 EV is on the list for next year when I have saved up the pennies. I am struggling to find the Go tariff that does not specifically mention that they don't test charge. @monkey5 Exactly what I am after, but as mentioned they seem to insist on an EV.

    Is it worth moving to Octopus Intelligent Go or another tariff?

    Thanks, John just found that out, appears we need to go for Cosy unless there are any other ideas.. Forgot to mention we will want to heat the water and charge the batteries overnight to compensate for the lack of sun during winter.

    Octopus EVs Batteries Tariffs and LPG

    Many thanks John We don't have an EV at this time, so Go is the way to go. I'll check the eddi display again, but the apps states it has never triggered. I will also check the CT is connected correctly, mind I probably will not, no if they are the correct way round or not. Report back later.
