Was thinking the same thing. The OP in Texas this might be a good thing. But also might want to investigate a system that will function in island mode as well as net metered for POCO outages.
In Texas, outside the major cities, and outside the major municipal utilities, it's still the wild, wild west. Policies differ among each of the REPs, and you can switch REPs whenever you want or whenever your short-term contract is up. Some REPs have a PV capacity limit, some don't have a PV limit, but overall, there is no net-metering laws here, so you're mostly selling your excess at the RTW (real-time wholesale) rate. I've seen TX electric bills posted on Reddit showing an average RTW solar buyback rate of 1.5 cents. There are some perks, like Octopus Energy will pay customers $4 per month per kW of BESS capacity you have, only if you provide them full control to your Enphase or SolarEdge battery. For customers who have solar PV in addition to BESS, I don't see this being a perk, because you're better off controlling your own battery and setting it to full self-consumption mode, to maximize your daily solar production.
