@peterackstraw A few observations rather than a recommendation for a particular tariff. As you are using a Tesla PW2, I would assume you may have had this installed before last winter commenced. My sunny day solar production is twice yours and my average winter day production is perhaps ~10 - 12% of this. This suggests that your Outgoing returns are not going to amount to much in the winter months so possibly of minor consideration. I don’t have EV charging rates so have stuck with Cosy for importing from the grid. I have 27 kWh of PW2 and use just the cheapest 8 hours of each day to charge the PW’s and this is sufficient to power everything including an 8 kW Daikin heat pump. Some readers are using the Agile tariff and this probably works best if you have smart control over the charging and heat pump. I am unsure whether any EV tariff is able to provide sufficient charge time so that with a large enough battery, there would be little or no need to use the more expensive periods; perhaps users of EV tariffs could advise here.

Of course there is still a great need for a crystal ball to determine what tariffs and deals might be in operation in 3 - 6 months time. There seems to be a lot of possible changes in the offing - not helped by the geopolitical situation of course.

I’m sorry if this is not of much help, but I hope it may have provided food for thought nevertheless. Regards, Toodles.

@toodles may thanks. My solar was fitted 7 years ago. 23 kw at best per day. A bit disappointed with that.

Regards Pete

Inteligent octopus go. 

So charge battery over night at 7p.

Then get paid 12p per kW for all solar produced on any given day. This is with outgoing octopus.
