Using Predbat to Compare Energy Tariffs

Predbat can now make predictions on the cost of different energy tariff's taking into account the optimal use of your home battery for each tariff.

An amazing addition to already outstanding software. I switched to agile export today based on what the compare feature was showing me but will monitor carefully but suspect this will be an additional saving ❤👏

Great addition. Looking forward to seeing impact of agile export. Any reason intelligent flux? Isn’t on your list tariffs. I Plan at some point to switch March/April.

A note on Intelligent Octopus Flux: As of October 2023, all batteries controlled through Intelligent Octopus Flux were set to a minimum of 20%. This may vary throughout the year. This has a significant impact on the cost compared to allowing a battery to drop to 4% charge for example. I don't think it will be currently possible to use Trefor's excellent compare tool accurately for Intelligent Octopus Flux due to this limitation.

Good point that hadn't considered.
