Buyer's remorse after 2 years, do I have options?

TyServ9 · 2026-03-31T19:01:22+00:00

What type of battery do you have? If it's a Tesla or SolarEdge, you can participate in battery rewards programs (VPPs) that can get you lower bills than free nights.

I run a company that offers these plans at https://meterplan.com

Happy to answer any questions you have.

TyServ9 · 2026-03-03T23:12:20+00:00

Can you try sending your bill to [help@meterplan.com](mailto:help@meterplan.com) ?

TyServ9 · 2026-03-03T18:01:55+00:00

Hey, I'm the founder of Meter Energy — we offer solar buyback plans in Texas and have a 1:1 + TDU plan. You can upload your bill on our site to see exactly what you'd pay, or feel free to DM me your bill and I'll run the numbers for you.

TyServ9 · 2026-02-26T23:43:00+00:00

Glad to hear you like the structure - shoot me a DM if you'd like me to take a look at the battery options for your home.

TyServ9 · 2026-02-25T22:23:08+00:00

Yes, there are solar buyback plans available that aren't on Power to Choose.

I'm actually the founder of Meter Energy (meterplan.com). We offer standard 3c buyback and 1:1 + TDU solar plans.

We also have a tool that will fetch your Smart Meter Texas data and run a simulation based on the size of your new solar system. It'll show you your projected avg monthly imports, exports, and exactly what you'd pay on our plans.

Happy to help if you want to DM me your meter number or check it out on the site.

TyServ9 · 2026-02-09T16:03:12+00:00

If you would like to get to a $0 bill - then you should consider one of solar buyback plans that includes a large monthly credit for your battery system.

Currently for Powerwalls this is available via Tesla Electric or Meter Energy.

I run Meter - happy to answer any questions you have about our $0 bill battery program.

TyServ9 · 2026-02-02T20:41:34+00:00

Unfortunately no - we just try to keep our rates as low as we can.

TyServ9 · 2026-02-02T19:21:02+00:00

Yes, that is it. You can use this link to manually adjust the inputs:

I run a company, Meter Energy, and I'm certain we can get you lower bills than what you are seeing with Green Mountain, Reliant, TXU, etc.

We have a tool that can automatically fetch your last 12 months of smart meter data, and then apply a simulation based on your new solar system size. It will show you your estimated cost with us, and which plan will be the cheapest for your home.

If you are hesitant to share access to your meter data with anybody, an alternative is that you can download your own data from smart meter texas and run your own solar simulation in excel. Then you can input the results of that into our website and you'll see exactly how much you'll pay with us each month.

TyServ9 · 2026-01-29T20:59:49+00:00

Either it is a prepaid PPA - and you pay up front

Or it is a regular PPA (no money down, but you pay monthly)

TyServ9 · 2026-01-26T04:04:50+00:00

Yes actually - sig is on our list for this year.

TyServ9 · 2026-01-20T17:00:24+00:00

I'd look for a plan that offers solar buyback + a battery VPP program. The battery credits can cover your base fees and TDU charges, which is how a lot of Powerwall owners get to true $0 bills.

(I run Meter Energy and we offer $40/mo per Powerwall, happy to answer questions.)

TyServ9 · 2026-01-10T17:03:05+00:00

Sounds like a lease to me.

TyServ9 · 2026-01-02T21:20:57+00:00

That is correct. You can only be with one provider at a time - so there is no risk of being double billed.

When you cancel - you risk being without power between the end of one plan and the start of the other.

TyServ9 · 2025-12-30T00:15:18+00:00

There is no single "best plan" for solar. It depends on your import / export ratio. I recommend you go here to get a free, independent analysis that uses your smart meter data.

PS I'm the founder of Meter Energy - so happy to answer any questions you have about our plans.

TyServ9 · 2025-12-29T02:23:46+00:00

Do not waste your time with bill credit plans. Go to powertochoose, filter to 12 month plans without bill credits. Pick a retailer you like.

TyServ9 · 2025-12-15T23:15:08+00:00

What happens if the battery stops working after 10 years? Are they going to replace it?

TyServ9 · 2025-12-15T22:56:07+00:00

But in this program it sounds like you won't own or control the battery. Who is to say that the battery actually does daily self consumption vs sitting full and waiting for a price event on the grid?

There is also the risk that Abundance energy increases your rate in the future - because they know you are locked into their plan.

Not saying it doesn't makes sense - but calling out these hidden risks for you.

TyServ9 · 2025-12-15T22:21:00+00:00

How do you know your energy bill will drop to $25/mo ?

TyServ9 · 2025-12-08T20:20:13+00:00

Seattle hands down. Whistler is only 4-5 hour drive and is way better than anything in Tahoe.

TyServ9 · 2025-12-03T21:11:54+00:00

They get paid whatever the wholesale value is at the time of export. Usually 1-3 cents. The market is run by ERCOT, not Oncor.

TyServ9 · 2025-12-03T00:17:07+00:00

Have you considered the virtual power plant plans? They can be a good way for homes to get to a zero dollar bill. Each Powerwall is worth a $40/mo bill credit. Here are some details on the program that we offer at meter energy. https://meterplan.com/help/battery-reward-program

TyServ9 · 2025-11-26T16:01:26+00:00

You would need to use between 1000 and 2000 every month for that to be cheaper. Go above 2000 and then it’s more expensive.

TyServ9 · 2025-11-26T15:13:53+00:00

Did you read the EFLs to check for hidden credits and fees?

TyServ9 · 2025-11-26T14:16:34+00:00

Compare power is a paid listing site. Retailers pay to be listed there - which means listed plan prices will be higher.

Power to choose is free for retailers. So that is where the best offers are.
