Vehicle to grid (V2G) credits for April and May

Hi @Tim_OVO ,

Thanks for creating this thread. My main question is whether you will be able to get a break down of the daily or monthly export values which are currently missing, or you will only be able to get the current export reading and use that to calculate how much has been exported. 

If it is the latter, and it occurs after the new price cap kicks in, you would need to estimate how much of the export happened before the new price cap (since the price paid for the export is based on the import price).

Should we keep a record of the export readings from our smart meters on the day the price change occurs?

Also do we have any idea how long it will be before we know when the credits will start again?

Another question, I assume that you will need to get the Export readings from the DCC? If so will there be any mechanism, by which we could also see the export values?

Thanks

Let me get you an answer to these questions, @kihon. I will be back when I have it. 

if you use the Kaluza app you can get the data from there… go to history-select the month top right ..download csv file.

It would be good to have a timescale for resolution… it is also frustrating that V2G credits are not taken into account when setting Direct Debit amounts… apart from that it has been excellent

Unfortunately, the app will only show what the V2G charger takes from the car. It will not show what is sent to the grid. It does not deduct what the house uses, and does not show solar exports.

You cannot really use it to check how much you should be getting. For example, the amount I got for April seemed low, but I cannot verify this in any way at the moment.

My csv file shows shows columns:  time slot… imported from grid…exported to home…..exported to grid

…I dont have solar

Hi @SteveDxn ,

Yes, I get a similar set from Kaluza. I had not realized that the Kaluza export data contained more information than showed in the app (thanks for that :) ).  However the numbers seem a bit suspect (I believe they are using a current clamp sensor to estimate the values). Also, it does not show the energy being exported by solar. There is no way for me to tally the values from the Kaluza data export to the values I receive from Ovo as V2G credit.  The only reliable way I can see is to check the smart meter for export values regularly. (You can manually get the value from the smart meter)

In theory the DCC should be able to provide export readings, however none of the apps I have tried which interface with the DCC show export values.

Kwl…. Solar is another dimension I may add this year… when I checked the data in the csv it did match the V2G credit

Hi @Tim_OVO 

Just wanted to see if there had been any feed back on this issue?

Thanks

Hi @kihon, 

I’m sorry for the delay in getting back to you. 

There is a email being sent to all those affected. It’s not been fully signed off and sent yet but I suspect this will be going out later this week. Thanks for your patience.
