What would Flux actually save you?
A battery on Flux charges in the cheap overnight band and runs your home through the 4–7pm peak. What that saves depends on:
- the tariffs you can get (Flux needs both solar panels and a battery)
- the energy the battery loses between charging and discharging
- how much electricity your home uses during the expensive hours
- what the system costs to install
Our Octopus tariff guide works through what each kWh from the battery is worth on Flux, with every assumption shown. For your own home, we'll size a system around your usage and roof and price it in a quote.
How to read these tables
Octopus splits each day into time bands. The cheap window is when you want to charge a battery or an EV; the peak window is when you want the battery doing the work and your solar exporting back.
- Flux import is for homes with solar panels and a battery. Charge in the cheap overnight band and let the battery cover the 16:00–19:00 peak, when import costs the most.
- Flux export pays its highest rate between 16:00 and 19:00. Compare that peak band with Flux's own daytime export rate in the table: it's when summer surplus, or a battery still holding charge, earns the most.
- Outgoing Octopus pays one flat export rate all day. If you're thinking of pairing it with Go or another import tariff, check Octopus's compatibility guidance first, because only certain combinations are allowed.
- Go and Intelligent Go are the EV-focused import tariffs. Intelligent Go uses a longer cheap window and works with compatible chargers and EVs.
Is this the right region for me?
Octopus prices electricity by region, and Scotland has two: South Scotland and North Scotland. The rates above are for South Scotland. The boundary runs through Central Scotland, so neighbouring towns can be on different rates. Octopus's postcode lookup puts Stirling (FK8) and Falkirk (FK1) in South Scotland, but Dunblane (FK15) and Perth (PH1) in North Scotland, which has its own rates. This page doesn't show North Scotland prices, so check your postcode with Octopus and confirm in the Octopus app before switching.
