I've been trying to get switched, but they aren't letting you do it online at the moment, so I need to call them tomorrow.

They respond on Twitter, I created an account just to talk to them, they seem to respond quickly, far quicker than email
I went live on a regular Octopus contract today (took 3 days). I am hoping that my requested switch to 'Go' occurs before presumed further price rises at the start of Oct due to the cap lifting. I am also hoping that I can be on the fixed export tariff too. If I get enough batteries I can buy at 7.5p and sell back at 15p.

I've just transferred to Octopus too, having phoned them this afternoon. Takes effect on Saturday, then I can switch to agile online. The battery should be installed on Monday, so we should only have a couple of days taking any import from them before we have the battery to see us through the nights.
Hopefully it will only be a fairly small number of days each winter where we need any import at all - their customer services guy was surprised when I told him how big a system we have.

If anybody does want one, I have one here
If you send me a message with it, I can put it in - there is a place for "Forgot to enter referral code" on their dashboard.

And of course, I also have one if anybody else is signing up.
Funnily enough I am more than happy to share my code and give a new sign up £50

@Alex321 Used my code, so nobody else should use mine, use his instead.

I've got one from Milkfloat going through at the moment, but it's there for others to use if they want.
It looks like my export is now all set up, hopefully the 6kwh I've exported so far today will earn me a few pennies.

I am still giving away my export - 7kWh today, but I did fill the batteries to 100% from 10%. I put a smart switch on my immersion which I sometimes trigger when production is really high. If I get 15p per kWh export I don't think it will get used much as gas is much cheaper to buy.
I'm not using the iboost at the moment for the same reason, well that and the hot water tank (227l) didn't last with four adults in the house on just the solar excess.
