Buyback
How solar buyback plans work in DFW
Texas has no statewide net metering. Your solar powers your home first; extra power is credited by your retail plan’s buyback terms. The best value comes from using your own solar — and a battery helps you do that.
Three questions to ask a plan
- What’s the credit rate for exported power?
- Do credits roll over, cash out or expire?
- Are there caps, base fees or contract terms?
