How's that working out at the moment? Are you earning a lot of money from them? Really no clue how they work.

We got solar installed at the start of the summer, along with a battery system and haven’t paid anything other than the standing charge on electric since, though clearly that’ll change soon going into winter. We’ve also installed an iboost system to heat water from excess solar so have been saving on the gas too.
The good feed in tariffs are long gone for new users so using as much of the solar as you can for personal use is key, which is why we went for the battery too. Octopus agile outgoing can give some halfway decent rates for export when you do have excess though, but involves a bit of work to time battery discharge to maximise it.
