Even with net metering and all you have is solar, it still does matter when you use grid power. California peak rates are 3 PM to midnight, and you’re not getting any offset when the sun is down and then you’re conscious about peak rates.
The calculus only changes when you have solar production + battery storage. Then you have freedom.

The fact is, even with solar, generating way more than I consume during peak hours, I STILL want to conserve, because that means I get more credits for charging the car overnight. It's not really "free energy" during the day if using it means I end up paying more for what I use overnight.
