I been using data to determine if agile or flux would be better, as the flux tariff has dropped significantly this year. Agile export is 0.15p at all times. Flux is 14.49p during the day and just 23.77p for peak, which is just 8p more.
We haven't had many really sunny days yet, but I am beginning to think that Agile might be at least equal to flux if the morning rate is low enough. Flux during the early morning is 14.26p, Agile can be much lower that this, although I haven't experienced Agile during late spring, summer months yet...? It could be higher than flux?
Being on the right tariff is so important to help make enough money to pay for the winter months. It was easy with flux last year, but this year, it doesn't seem as generous.
I'll keep taking records and will report if anything changes, but at the moment of low sunlight, agile is killing it, including exporting battery for 3 hours a day and filling up with really cheap electric during the night.
Working out:
Agile: (export 9kw @0.15p = £1.35). That makes £40.5 per 30 day month.
Flux: export at peak times 30 days a month @23.95p results in £64.66.
Question is, does the import from the grid cost more or less than £24 for a month using Agile - in summer? Import from the grid for flux is just under 0.24p daytime, Agile varies but is seldom that high outside of peak hours.
Agile 0.15p export just tops Flux's 0.145p day time export. But just by half a penny.
Sooooo, we'll see.... but i don't think we are going to see massive export sums mounting up like last year :( Of course tariffs are lower in general too. Intelligent Flux would be better when it gets really sunny! I have included data for that tariff too!
