Side note: I got confirmation from ComEd that by using Hourly Pricing and Solar production, if the hourly price goes negative I'm getting charged to

supply electricity

Not sure how I feel about that. Overall the Hourly pricing has been a net positive (saving money) even with the Christmas fiasco. I suspect that negative pricing is pretty rare (likely spring/fall in those short term very nice periods like we have now where temp is warm but not enough for AC). I'm tempted now to download the historical hourly pricing data and see if it goes negative frequently during the day to see if it really is a concern

You're getting charged to supply them with power? -- nm - sycor Apr 14, 08:04 2
- Yup. The counter to that is instead of paying 0.12/kWh normally I typically pay 0.01 in the overnight hours to charge my car. - oblique Apr 14, 08:07 1

You should turn on all lights in your house all weekend and see if you can trigger that negative pricing -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:54
