Cost explorer

Explore cost implication for each system on different tariffs e.g: user entered unit rate, price cap or average rate and half hourly tariffs: Octopus Agile, Cosy & Go.

For anyone on Octopus tariffs you could go mega deep on this.
Ask for their API code and pull their last 30 days average unit price from Octopus API/Graphql?

I think i've put my unit price at 14p on the information as that was my winter average. But as we get more solar that will no doubt go down month to month. And that doesn't include the solar contribution.

Cost is going to be really hard to nail down.

Not sure any of that helped.

Thanks Mick, thinking of keeping it one layer up from that I think. Pull in the cosy, go, agile rates for a particular region (one that has central enough costs) and then apply those half hourly prices to all systems as a way to ask a what if question.. E.g what if every heat pump on the list was on Cosy or Go or Agile.

The obvious issue with this is that this will not be able to account for demand shifting that the user might undertake if they were actually on a particular tariff.. but it's probably the best we can do without getting super complicated..
