This plan is ideal for customers who can shift a meaningful portion of their electricity use into the free daily window from 10 AM to 4 PM, making it a strong fit for people who spend daytime hours at home such as remote workers, stay‑at‑home parents, retirees, or anyone with flexible schedules, as well as EV owners who can charge during midday hours and eco‑conscious consumers who value the efficiency of using 100% renewable energy during peak‑sun periods.
Get free electricity every afternoon from Texas solar farms. As long as the sun is shining, you can count on free days to power your home.

Free Days is a time-of-use plan with one simple rule. Every day from 10 AM to 4 PM, your energy charge is $.00 per kWh. Outside that window you pay one low, fixed rate that holds for your whole contract. No tiers, no gimmicks, and no fine print about which days count.
| Hours | What you pay for energy | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| 10 AM to 4 PM, every day | $.00 per kWh | Six free hours a day, 42 free hours a week, all year long |
| 4 PM to 10 AM | Your fixed rate | Locked in on your Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before you enroll |
| Weekends and holidays | Same schedule | The free window never takes a day off |
The free window covers the energy charge on your plan. Delivery charges from your local utility and any base charge are passed through at cost and listed on your EFL, just like every other Texas plan.
Free Days rewards homes that use most of their power while the sun is up. If any of these sound familiar, the plan was built for you.
Free Days is not available for homes with solar panels or a battery. If that is you, our solar buyback plans are built for solar homes.
Your savings on Free Days come down to one number: the share of your monthly kWh that lands between 10 AM and 4 PM. Here is an illustrative example. Your own shares will differ, so treat it as a way to think, not an estimate for your home.
| Step | Example home (illustrative) |
|---|---|
| Monthly usage | 1,100 kWh (close to the Texas household average of 1,096 kWh, EIA-861 2024) |
| Usage inside 10 AM to 4 PM today, before changing anything | About 30%, or 330 kWh, mostly afternoon A/C |
| Usage after moving laundry, dishwasher and pool pump into the window | About 40%, or 440 kWh |
| Energy charge on those 440 kWh | $0.00 |
| Energy charge on the other 660 kWh | Your fixed rate, shown on your EFL |
Run your own numbers. Plug your usage into the Chariot electricity bill calculator, then estimate how much of it happens between 10 AM and 4 PM. The bigger that share, the better Free Days looks.
Every day from 10 AM to 4 PM, the energy charge on the power you use is $.00 per kWh. Outside those hours you pay a low, fixed rate that stays the same for the length of your contract. Delivery charges from your local utility still apply and are listed on your Electricity Facts Label.
Low, fixed per-kWh rates apply outside the free period. The plan is designed for households that can shift their heaviest usage, like running appliances, charging EVs, or cooling the home, into the free window to maximize savings.
Homes that use most of their electricity during the day: remote workers, stay-at-home parents, retirees and anyone who runs the A/C hard through a Texas afternoon. If most of your usage happens overnight, take a look at Free Nights instead.
