If you’ve invested in solar panels and a home battery, Octopus Flux is designed for you. It rewards you for storing energy when it’s cheap and exporting it back to the grid when demand is high.
How It Works:
Flux has three pricing periods:
- Off-peak (cheap import): Buy electricity at low rates, usually overnight.
- Peak export (high rates): Sell your stored or solar-generated electricity back to the grid in the evening, when demand (and prices) are highest.
- Daytime standard rate: Regular usage pricing during the rest of the day.
Real-World Example:
With solar panels, you can store excess daytime energy in your battery. Then, export it during the evening peak and earn premium rates. For many households, this creates a new income stream.
Who It’s Best For:
- Homes with solar panels and a battery.
- Families who want to maximise return on renewable investments.
- Households interested in active energy trading.
Why It’s a Game Changer:
Flux isn’t just about savings — it’s about earning from your home energy system. It transforms households into small-scale energy providers, supporting the grid while putting money back in your pocket.
