 "method": "Fixed daily clock from deployment-core.js (solarEvening): charge at up to 20 kW from 10 AM to 2 PM (hours ending 11 to 14) until full, then discharge at up to 20 kW from 7 PM to 9 PM (hours ending 20 and 21) until the 20% reserve, settled at the load zone real-time price. About 31 kWh is usable, so each day it buys about 33 kWh from 10 AM to noon (losses included) and sells 20 kWh from 7 to 8 PM and about 9 kWh from 8 to 9 PM. The clock was chosen from public ERCOT reasoning (solar holds midday prices down; the net-load peak now falls after sunset) and the battery's duration, not by searching these prices. Only load zones are ranked: homes settle at load zone prices. Hubs are trading points, listed under \"hubs\" for reference only. Energy arbitrage only: no capacity, ancillary, tolling or retail revenue. Not Base revenue.",
