Can you sell solar power back to the grid in Texas?
Your meter runs both ways. When you produce more than you use, excess goes to the grid. CenterPoint credits you based on your plan's buyback rate.
How much do you get paid for solar buyback in Texas?
CenterPoint buyback rates range from $0.04-0.12/kWh depending on your plan. Some plans offer 1:1 credits, most don't. Shop around.
How do I maximize my solar buyback credits?
Tips to maximize solar value in Houston:
- Size your system to match your usage (oversizing means selling cheap)
- Consider a battery to store excess instead of selling at wholesale
- Shop for plans with good buyback rates
- Run heavy loads during peak solar production
