why is my texas electric bill still high after solar?
midday production isnt peak evening AC. if the powerwall sits idle at ercot peak, thats the miss.

Why does solar shut off in a blackout, even in full sun?
Grid-tied inverters have to stop sending power out so line crews stay safe. A home battery plus a switch lets your house run on its own power until the grid's back.

Big thanks to our partners at @OpenAI for a great night of food and networking in SF. Finally grabbed a Codex fidget too.
flipped the battery to charge from solar only
before: it pulls grid power at peak rates and the bill barely moves
after: it holds solar for evening use and the bill tends to drop

what does your battery do while you're at work? it stores power overnight, then runs your house during the day. gridpay.com

your battery app is worth a two minute check once a month like checking tire pressure. open it and make sure it's set for what you need.

your electric bill is full of words nobody explains
what is one energy question you wish someone would just answer plainly
the same battery acts totally different depending on how it's set up. one setting change can move a bill. the wrong plan keeps it flat. we find the mismatch first. gridpay.com

if you have solar panels, the sun charges your battery first. your house runs off that power during the day. anything extra goes to the grid. at night, your battery keeps the lights on until it's low, then the grid steps back in. gridpay.com

The post:
sending extra solar power back to the grid works differently depending on your plan. your plan decides how it's treated, so it's worth reading that part. check your plan details at gridpay.com

"does a battery actually do anything on a normal day?"
It stores extra power from your panels so your home can use it later. It also turns on if the grid goes out.

2 things we check first on a texas home setup: battery mode and the plan. wrong plan keeps the battery from paying off. fix either and the bill moves. reply BILL #gridpay

heads up: before you sign a new electricity plan, check the contract length, what happens when it ends, and any fees. ask first. gridpay.com

pre-cool the house in the afternoon and the evening gets easier on your bill and the grid. turn the thermostat down a bit early, then back up after dark. gridpay.com

weekend to do: check your battery reserve before saturday. set it to hold enough for the fridge, wifi, and lights if the power goes out. gridpay.com

How do home batteries work?
Charge when power is available.
Store it as kWh.
Use it when the house needs it.
Think pantry, not magic.
