    Between solar panels and a home battery my electricity bill is negative during summer months. As in I produce more than I need so I’m selling back to the grid.

    During the winter when I don’t get enough from solar with my battery and dynamic pricing I can buy electricity when prices are low so I don’t pay high prices during peak hours.
