12.9¢/kWh is SOLRITE's fixed rate for the power your solar system produces, set in your Solar VPA agreement. Grid power you still use is billed by a SOLRITE-approved retail electric provider (REP) at a discounted retail rate set by the provider. Subject to VPP Program Addendum.
Solar that lowers your bill.
Battery that keeps it on.
Custom solar for your Houston roof
Houston averages roughly 4.7 to 5.2 peak sun hours a day. Your solar covers daytime power, charges the sonnen battery with the surplus, and starts lowering your bill the day it is energized.
Battery backup, Gulf-Coast grade
Stored energy stays in your sonnen battery for evening peak hours and the next time the grid stumbles. Hurricane Beryl, ERCOT freezes, summer rolling outages, you stay running.
Discounted retail rate, included
Your home is enrolled with a SOLRITE-approved REP that delivers grid power at a discounted retail rate. The savings come from your battery's grid participation, not your wallet.
Why it works in Houston
CenterPoint rates keep climbing.
The ERCOT grid keeps stumbling.
Houston homes on CenterPoint pay roughly 14 to 16¢/kWh all-in, and the trend has been up, not down. Texas also runs its own grid, ERCOT, isolated from the two national grids, which is a big part of why the state sees freezes, summer conservation events, and storm outages that last.
Your SOLRITE solar rate is fixed at 12.9¢/kWh for the power your system produces, and grid power you still use comes through a SOLRITE-approved REP at a discounted retail rate. Pair that with a 60 kWh sonnen battery that stores your solar for evening use and backup, and you get a lower, more predictable bill plus power that stays on when the grid does not.
July 2024, Hurricane Beryl
2.2 million homes lost power.
Some stayed dark for 11 days.
When Beryl hit in July 2024, more than 2.2 million CenterPoint customers lost power. More than a million were still out two days later, and some Houston homes went without electricity for over a week, in peak summer heat. Three years earlier, Winter Storm Uri left 4.5 million Texans in the cold.
A SOLRITE home rides through it. When the grid drops, your sonnen battery takes over in seconds, and during daytime outages your solar keeps recharging it. No generator, no gas runs, no scramble. Just power that stays on.
