Buyback plans for solar homes

Atma offers energy plans designed specifically for solar homeowners. Whether you value simplicity, lower long-term costs, or earning more from your battery, our plans are built to align with how your home produces and uses energy.

Because every home uses energy differently.

We offer four energy plans designed for solar homeowners, with options depending on whether you value bill simplicity, lowest rates, or want to earn more by using your battery.

Atma Solar Plans

Solar Buyback Plans are designed for homeowners with solar who want clear, predictable credits for the energy they export to the grid.

These plans work well for customers who want a straightforward experience and prefer to manage their energy without enrolling a battery. Depending on your goals, you can prioritize simplicity and balanced credits, or focus on minimizing the rate you pay for electricity you use.

Solar 1:1 Buyback

Best for

  • Homes where solar production closely matches energy use

  • Customers who want a simple, net-metering-like experience

  • Homeowners without a battery, or those who prefer to keep full control of one

Why choose this plan
Energy you export to the grid is credited at the same rate you pay for electricity, making this plan straightforward and easy to manage.

Solar Buyback Saver

Best for

  • Homeowners who use most of the solar energy they produce

  • Customers focused on minimizing their energy rate

  • Homes without a battery, or those who prefer not to enroll one

Why choose this plan
You pay a far lower rate for the electricity you use, which can outweigh the lower export credit if most of your solar energy is used at home.

Atma Solar + VPP Plans

Solar + Battery Plans are available to homeowners who already own a battery and choose to participate in Atma’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP).

These plans build on the same buyback structures, with the added benefit of compensation for allowing Atma to occasionally dispatch your battery when it helps support the grid. You retain your battery’s backup functionality and everyday use, while gaining an opportunity to earn more from the energy you store.

Battery participation is optional and designed to work alongside your home’s existing energy needs.

How to choose the right plan

The best plan depends on how much energy your home produces, how you use it, and whether you have a battery. Some homeowners value simple, net-metering-like credits. Others prefer lower rates or want to earn additional value from a battery they already own. Our Solar Advisors can help you understand the differences and choose the option that best matches your goals and setup, with clear guidance and no pressure.
