Some more details on this would be interesting. We're currently with Octopus and get just 15p/kWh when we sell back to the grid, but have to pay 25p/kWh when we buy from the grid.
What kind of rates (average?) are you getting, and who's your supplier?
German here, 0.07€ to the grid, 0.37€ to buy back from the grid. You better believe I'm maximizing self usage with a big battery, two electric cars and a heat pump that can use the concrete floors as a buffer.
SDGE charges $0.50/kWh and gives you $0.05/kWh in return
Dam, we're with octopus and we pay 30p/kWh for import.
We signed into a fixed term contract just before the process exploded. That contract ends in October though, so we'll be paying 30p/kWh soon enough.
