Or people who knowingly, and flexibly, use a large amount of power.
Do they do net-metering down in TX ?
Better. Retail price in Texas depends on time-of-use, so you're paid more per kWh for the electricity you net-generate during the day than the electricity you net-use during the night.
Of course, once enough people do it, peak price time moves out of solar-generating-but-home-use-low time (see, e.g., California.)
