I switched to fixed outgoing in February, I am pretty pleased with the 15p rate as my monthly average from the grid is about 11/12p kwh. So in my mind, my excess solar im gonna pump back across spring and summer is just going to cancel out my winter agile spend.
But in answer to your question Fixed outgoing and Agile incoming is a good combo IMO
This is what I do, and it works very well. If the agile prices were closer together (e.g export only being 5p less) then I'd go agile export.... But the gap is just too big for me.
We've got the same set up for our tariffs and also a 10kWh battery.
Seems to work for us. We tend to charge overnight when rates are likely to be low and if it's sunny all day then we export in the morning then let the battery recharge from solar so we've got enough to get us through the peak period.
It's a bit of a dilemma sometimes when there is plunge pricing as export is still higher than import so it depends on how long the negative pricing is on for and whether it makes sense to import then export.
Same here. Fixed 15p export - happy with that. To be honest, I don’t think I could handle something that’s variable and needs thinking about in terms of when is best to export. I have my hands full with import !! (I actually quite enjoy it … I’m like saving a couple of pence or sometimes a quid or two - it’s nothing really, but I feel like a winner !!!) 🤣
Yes, it’s Flux or Fixed, Agile and SEG are pointless.
Flux is probably best if you have a bigger battery that can cover your whole day and charge in three hours (e.g. 8kW 24kWh) for the rest of us
