Extra hour?

Sponge

Agile prices are not correct, missing the extra hour, how will this work when I want to charge at 2.30am?

Yes, this is a potential problem, with a huge variance in price between the 4 slots.

First pass
01:00 - 15.4p
01:30 - 22.1p

Second pass
01:00 - 24.0p
01:30 - 16.9p

With this data, I want to set the first 01:00 slot, and the second 01:30 slot, but WonderWatt is only showing first occurrence

SolarAssistant apparently has no concept either, so as others have said, they will skip tonight's 01:00 and 01:30 slots entirely to avoid getting expensive KWh's

For safety, I am selecting 02:00 and 02:30 only to carry the battery thru the night. It's due to be sunny all day tomorrow, so I will run dishwasher and washing machine during glorious sunny hours.

In answer to your concern, WW 02:00 and 02:30 slots match the agile pricing correctly, so should be safe.
However, I am no expert and I am just sharing my hope/opinion and as such I accept no responsible for making incorrect assumptions.

Thanks, I would think the 1st 1am would be fine as clocks don't go back til 2am? The question to me is the 2.30am, the inverter should by then know what time it is but will WW know, or is it going to be a case of 90mins after 1am and fall 1.5p higher, not the end of the world. Should hopefully have enough export to easily cover a 'free day'.

Sponge the inverter should by then know what time it is

My Giv inverter has its clock updated by GE over the internet. It is unlikely to be bang on 2am so any WW slot picking around this time is going to be a lottery. Checking the GE logs, it looks like the clock went back at about 2:27 BST on my inverter.

Yep, lottery it was, 1am charge not sent til 1.58am? Seems ignored by giv, got 1 charge at 2.30am but no idea what the actual time was. 😂
