Gexa Energy Solar Buyback Plans

A solar buyback plan is an electricity plan that provides bill credits for the eligible excess energy your solar system exports to the grid. These plans are designed for homes with rooftop solar and allow you to receive value for the electricity your home does not use immediately.

Texas solar buyback plans work by measuring both the electricity your home uses from the grid and the excess electricity your solar system sends back to it. Eligible exported energy may earn bill credits according to your plan's terms, which are then reflected on your monthly statement.

Canceling your contract before it expires may require you to pay an early termination fee (ETF), unless you’re moving or in the final 14 days of your contract. If your service is terminated, any available bill credits will be applied to your final bill. Any remaining unused credits after the final bill is paid will be forfeited and cannot be redeemed for cash.

¹ Gexa Energy purchases renewable energy credits (RECs) from renewable generation resources throughout North America to match 100% of the energy sold under your electric plan. The RECs Gexa purchases represent the renewable attributes of power generated from a variety of renewable energy sources, including, but not limited to, the sun, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, wave or tidal energy, and biomass or biomass-based waste products, including landfill gas.

² Only battery inverters manufactured by SolarEdge and Enphase are currently compatible with the Battery Benefits service. $50 monthly bill credits contingent upon participation in the active control of your battery through Gexa Energy’s Battery Benefits service.

³ The ability for your battery to fully back-up your entire home load is contingent upon the battery capacity being sized appropriately in relation to your home’s energy usage.  Gexa makes no claim that your system has been installed to fully back up your home but will strive to charge your battery to full power. 

By enrolling in the Battery Benefits Service, you authorize Gexa to access and monitor your home battery system performance and data, including the ability to discharge energy to the electric grid. Please see Battery Benefits enrollment terms, FAQs, and the Non-Commodity Products section of your Terms of Service for additional details.
