Why is this happening?
Solar on the grid is increasing.
Too much solar at noon: Everyone's panels produce power at the same time, flooding the grid when demand is low. Texas doesn't need your power then.
Peak demand at night: When the sun sets, everyone gets home and turns on their AC, but solar production drops to zero. That's when demand spikes.
The trend accelerates: This will continue as more solar is added. The gap between what you're paid and what you pay may only get wider.
The solution?
Store your excess power. Use it when needed.
A home battery breaks the cycle. Stop selling at 3¢ and buying at 15¢. Take control of your energy economics.
