Why Many Dallas Solar Homes Still Have Electric Bills
Many homeowners in Dallas installed solar panels expecting their electricity bill to drop close to zero.
The original idea was simple:
Solar panels produce power during the day.Extra energy goes to the grid.Credits offset your nighttime electricity usage.
But across Texas, many solar homeowners have experienced a change:
Solar buyback rates have dropped.
That means many Dallas solar homes now see:
The Export Value Problem
Solar panels often generate more electricity than a home needs during the day.
Without battery storage:
- Extra solar energy is exported to the grid
- The grid credits that energy at a lower value
- Homes buy electricity back later at full price
Selling solar power cheaply during the day
and
buying electricity back later in the evening.
Even though their solar system produced enough energy overall.
How the Light Battery Program™ Changes the Math
Battery storage allows your home to store excess solar energy during the day.
Instead of sending that energy to the grid, the battery saves it.
That stored energy can then power your home during the evening when electricity demand increases.
The Light Battery Program™ includes a $54 monthly battery credit, which helps offset much of the battery cost.
Example scenario.
Typical Dallas solar homeowner:
With the Light Battery Program™
Battery lease: $85/monthBattery credit: –$54/month
Instead of exporting solar energy cheaply and buying electricity later, homeowners can store their solar energy and use it when their home needs it most.
