Wow, $0.042/kWh is commercial/industrial pricing!

I'd install a Powerwall, charge at night, and go battery power by day.

Quick math, opportunity cost excluded...

Powerwall $8,000 installed
Flat rate electricity plan at $0.11/kWh

360 kWh per month from the Powerwall at $0.042 /kWh = $15.12

You'd save about $25/mo by only consuming the cheap energy.

...26 year payback. Nevermind.
