Your bill drops because you're generating your own power. Most of the day, your panels cover your usage. At night, you pull from the grid, but your net bill is way lower.

How do rate increases affect solar savings?

Electric rates in Texas go up about 5.3% per year on average. Over 20 years, that compounds significantly. Solar locks in today's rates. Your $164/month savings today could be $246/month in 10 years if rates keep climbing.

How much do solar panels save over 25 years?
