Sun on a roof in Bloomburg.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Bloomburg at 1,410 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 1.1 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Against Dallas
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 256 km to the west, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Bloomburg models 90 kWh per kW (6.0%) below it. Bloomburg lies 0.35 degrees of latitude north of Dallas, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. The weather station for Bloomburg is 1.1 km from the modeled point, against 2.4 km for Dallas, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is Fort Worth, 310 km west, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Bloomburg runs 125 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

- Bowie-Cass Electric Coop, Inc: 13.35¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 34,727 residential customers across 6 counties.
They are the largest bundled providers whose EIA service territory lists the county. A county can list several, and which one serves a street depends on the address, so check your bill. Priced at the first provider's average, the modeled 1,410 kWh would come to $178 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Bloomburg model to another array size, take off extra losses for shade or dirt, and price the energy at any rate. It is arithmetic on the PVWatts output above, nothing more: not a quote, not a savings estimate and not advice.
Starting rate: the Texas residential average of 15.4¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $217 per kW a year as plain multiplication.

Getting a measured number
A model cannot see your roof. Installers measure pitch, shade and the electrical panel on site. Quote marketplaces such as EnergySage, SolarReviews and WattBuy collect bids from local installers. Rate & Roof does not rank installers.
