Out of interest how do you calculate your baseline - we are on battery but still manage to save something each session which considering we are p[ast out cooking slot for these sessions really doesn't make sense to me - not that I am complaining

I can't - but https://savingsessions.streamlit.app/ and api from https://octopus.energy/dashboard/new/ac ... api-access does it for me!
I've saved it with my ID and it shows which of the previous days are use for the baseline.
A
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh Givenergy batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

3x 405W Longi panels (1.22kWp) @ 90 degrees
16.5kWh DIY LifePo4 battery
