June 1 to July 7 I generated 1232kWh for $108 in credit

Administration, distribution, etc all added up to $81 so I paid $13 out of pocket still.

If it'd been on the 30 cent plan I'd have paid $135 for electricity but I'd have made $370.

However the administration and distribution fees scale up as well from what I've been told but I don't know to what degree, maybe someone can give the details on that?

But looking at that that's a lot more than I was thinking so it seems like it's totally worth while switching plans for the summer since the last bill I'd have stored up a bunch of credit for the winter.
They don't really scale up, here is breakdown from my May invoice:
