Champion Energy uses real-time wholesale pricing
RTW export credits are tied to ERCOT spot prices, which can swing from $0.01/kWh to over $1/kWh. Your monthly credits will vary significantly based on market conditions — a sunny afternoon during a heatwave pays well, but mild spring days may pay very little.
What makes a good solar buyback plan?
The best plan matches your specific usage patterns. Look beyond the marketing and check:
Timing: When you export vs when you consume power
Credit method: 1:1 credits, fixed rate, or RTW—and any monthly caps
Gotchas: Base fees, credit expiration policies, and minimum usage charges
Most providers hide how their plans will perform with your specific usage—our analysis shows you the truth.
What customers are saying about Champion Energy
Real reviews from Google
“Billing was delayed for 3 months, had a followup on the bill couple of times and sent 3 months bills in one shot with same due date. I was literally waiting for the bill to see the solar buy back pricing and I feel like they purposefully delayed the bill to scam me.”
“I participated with this companies' solar buy back program. I was told I would receive between 5 cents to 20 cents for my solar buyback credit. I checked to see what price they were crediting the solar energy that I was giving back. They priced it at 2 cents, were charging me 11 cents. How is this not illegal!!!”
“We have solar panels and are producing more than we are consuming. We are still receiving bills for over $100 dollars a month. During the spring we were consuming more than we were producing and our bill was around $40. At the beginning of the summer we were gone for 3 weeks and still received a bill for over $100.”
