Octopus Agile: half-hourly pricing. Sometimes NEGATIVE. Buy low, sell high with solar.

Is Octopus Agile good with solar?

Octopus Agile: the most advanced solar tariff. PRICING: changes every 30 minutes based on wholesale costs. Can go negative (you're PAID to use electricity). Can spike to 100p+ during peak demand. WITH SOLAR + BATTERY: (1) SOLAR generates free electricity during the day. (2) BATTERY stores surplus for expensive evening periods. (3) NEGATIVE PRICING: charge your battery when prices go negative (free + paid). (4) PEAK AVOIDANCE: use battery during 4-7pm when Agile prices spike. (5) EXPORT when prices are highest (not fixed SEG rate). SAVINGS: tech-savvy users save £200-£500/yr extra vs flat-rate tariffs. Requires: smart meter, battery, and willingness to monitor/automate.
