The Better Way
Old Way: Buy or Finance
New Way: Third-Party Program
We get it. Corpus Christi homeowners hear “free solar” and assume it's a scam. Here's the proof it's not.
The Public Utility Commission of Texas directed ERCOT to launch a Virtual Power Plant pilot program. This program aggregates small energy resources across Texas homes — allowing homeowners to participate in the wholesale energy market and get a locked lower rate in return.
“It's a win-win for Texas. Home and business owners get paid for power they supply and consumers in ERCOT get more reliability.”
— PUCT Commissioner Will McAdams
The third party that owns the equipment participates in the ERCOT wholesale energy market — buying electricity when prices are low and selling when prices are high. This energy arbitrage is how the program profits. Your locked low rate is sustainable because the program makes money from the grid, not from you.
The program profits from the energy market. You profit from a lower rate. Interests aligned.
Because the program needs equipment on your roof to participate in the grid market. It's the revenue engine. Giving you a lower rate is the win-win — you save money, the program earns market access. You don't own anything, you don't maintain anything. You just pay less.
You don't own it. You don't maintain it. You just pay a lower rate.

— Common Questions
Solar equipment is installed on your home at no cost through a government-backed Virtual Power Plant program sponsored by the Public Utility Commission of Texas. A third party owns and maintains all equipment. You simply pay a locked, lower rate for the electricity it generates — that's it.
Yes. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) directed ERCOT to launch a Virtual Power Plant pilot in 2022. This program is part of that initiative. You can read the official PUCT press release confirming it.
There's no catch. A third party owns the equipment and participates in the Texas wholesale energy market through the ERCOT grid. They profit from energy market economics — not from charging you more. Your locked low rate is sustainable because the program makes money from the grid, not from you.
