It&#x27;s a bit more complicated than that, too. I don&#x27;t know about NV, but in California the power company never actually buys net power from you. At best you can owe $0, you never get a check from the power company, even if you pump all of your juice to the grid. So it&#x27;s only paying &quot;retail prices&quot; insofar as it&#x27;s offsetting the retail prices you&#x27;re paying for your overnight&#x2F;cloudy day power. And incidentally, overnight&#x2F;cloudy days are off-peak times for power cos.
