Texas solar export value explained

A kilowatt-hour used at home and one sent to the grid may have different financial value.

Self-consumption

Solar used immediately in the home can avoid some energy purchases. It may not avoid every fixed, delivery, minimum-use, or non-bypassable charge.

Export

Excess production sent to the grid is valued according to the applicable retail plan or utility program. Credits can differ from the retail import price and can change with contract terms.

The calculator models self-consumption at 55–85% of generation and export value at 30–70% of the retail benchmark. These are sensitivity bands, not claims about a specific plan.
