      Is solar worth it in California?

      Yes, with a battery. Under California's net billing (NEM 3.0), exported solar earns about 4.7 cents per kWh with PG&E and SCE and 6.2 cents with SDG&E, while those utilities averaged 33.7 to 45.5 cents per kWh in mid-2026, so using your own solar in the evening matters most.

      Is solar worth it in Texas?

      Yes, especially for backup power. Texas has no required solar buyback, so what you earn for exports depends on your utility or retail plan: Austin Energy pays 9.91 cents per kWh and CPS Energy uses net metering. Oncor and CenterPoint delivery charges both rose about 3% in June 2026.
