Plano Solar Battery Installation The Light Battery Program™
Add a battery, receive a $54 monthly credit, and reduce how much electricity you buy from the grid.
Why Solar Panels Alone Aren’t Eliminating Electric Bills
Many homeowners in Plano installed solar expecting their electric bill to drop close to zero.
But many still see $120–$200 monthly bills, even with a solar system producing plenty of energy.
The reason is simple:
Solar power is produced during the day, while homes often use the most electricity later in the evening.
In many Plano homes, energy demand increases when:
• Air conditioning continues running in the evening
• Families return home after work
• Appliances and electronics are used at night
Without energy storage, solar energy produced earlier in the day is often not available when the home needs it most.
Why Many Solar Homes Still Rely on the Grid
Most solar systems operate in a simple cycle.
During the day:
• Solar panels produce electricity
• Extra solar energy is exported to the grid
Later in the evening:
• Solar production stops
• Electricity must be purchased from the grid
This means many homeowners end up:
Exporting solar energy during the day
and then
buying electricity back later when prices are higher.
Even though the solar system produced plenty of energy overall.
How the Light Battery Program™ Changes the Math
Battery storage allows your solar system to store excess energy during the day.
That stored energy can then power your home after sunset, when electricity demand increases.
The Light Battery Program™ includes a $54 monthly battery credit that helps offset much of the battery cost.
Example scenario.
Typical Plano solar homeowner:
Remaining electric bill:
$150/month
With the Light Battery Program™
Battery lease: $85/month
Battery credit: –$54/month
Effective battery cost: about $31/month
Instead of exporting solar power and buying electricity later, homeowners can use their solar energy when their home actually needs it.
A Battery Upgrade Designed for Existing Solar Systems
The Light Battery Program™ was built for homeowners who already have solar panels installed.
The program includes:
• Battery storage installation
• A participating electricity provider
• A fixed $54 monthly battery credit
• 1:1 net metering structure under the program
• Backup power capability
Most batteries cost around $85–$95 per month depending on configuration.
After the $54 credit, many homeowners see an effective cost close to $31/month.
This allows homeowners to:
• Store more solar energy
• Reduce electricity purchased from the grid
• Add backup power protection
Before and After Adding Battery Storage
Before installing a battery:
Solar powers the home during the day
Extra solar energy exported to the grid
Electricity purchased from the grid at night
Typical remaining bill:
~$150/month
After installing a battery:
Solar energy stored during the day
Stored energy powers the home in the evening
Battery lease: $85/month
Battery credit: –$54/month
Effective cost:
~$31/month
Actual results depend on:
• Solar system size
• Household electricity usage
• Electric plan
• Battery capacity
But the goal remains simple:
Use the solar power your system already produces.
The Light Battery Program™ May Be Right If You:
Already have solar
Own one or more EVs
Experience high evening usage
Export significant midday production
Prefer lease over large upfront loan
Want both optimization and backup
Plano homeowners often focus on:
Long-term ROI
Efficiency
Energy independence
Battery integration supports all three.

-
The $54 monthly credit is available under the current participating retail plan used within The Light Battery Program™. Eligibility and plan terms are reviewed prior to enrollment.
-
Eligible homeowners enrolled in the participating retail plan receive 1:1 net metering under current plan terms. Details are confirmed before activation.
-
The Light Battery Program™ is primarily structured as a lease model to reduce upfront investment compared to traditional purchase financing.
-
Total bill impact depends on system size, usage patterns, and rate structure. Many homeowners reduce evening grid exposure significantly, but outcomes vary.
-
When configured for backup, the battery can power designated circuits or the home during grid interruptions and recharge from solar during daylight.
