Sun on a roof in Burnet.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Burnet at 1,540 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 2.9 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Against Austin
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 69 km to the southeast, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Burnet models 57 kWh per kW (3.8%) above it. Burnet lies 0.45 degrees of latitude north of Austin, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The weather station for Burnet is 2.9 km from the modeled point, against 1.5 km for Austin, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is San Antonio, 146 km south, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Burnet runs 35 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Burnet runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, November, December. It runs at least 2% lower in April, May, August.
Electricity in Burnet CountyEIA-861
Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery in this county. Where Burnet is on Oncor Electric Delivery's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Burnet may instead be served by a co-op or utility listed below, which sets its own rates; check your bill. For scale only, the median 2025 average price across the 60 Texas retail providers on this site is 15.32¢ per kWh, which would put the modeled 1,540 kWh at $236 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Burnet 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 $237 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.

The sliders above price the energy at one rate. The payback calculator adds the system cost and your buyback plan type, and shows every assumption. It is an estimate, not advice.
