Sun on a roof in Coppell.

The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Coppell at 1,519 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 1.5 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Scroll from January to December: the noon sun over Coppell climbs and falls, and the modeled output follows it.

How Coppell comparesderived from the figures above

Where Coppell sits.

Coppell ranks 75th of 157 Texas places modeled here, at the 53rd percentile. Its 1,519 kWh per kW is above the Texas median of 1,518. The strongest months are August, June, July and the weakest are November, December, February; output peaks in August and bottoms out in November. In all, 29.9% of the year arrives in June, July and August, more than the 29.4% of the median place.

Against Dallas

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 28 km to the southeast, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Coppell models 19 kWh per kW (1.3%) above it. At 0.17 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.5 km and 2.4 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Fort Worth, 39 km southwest, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Coppell runs 16 below that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Coppell runs at least 2% higher in January, June, August, September, December. It runs at least 2% lower in May, November.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power in this county. Where Coppell is on Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Coppell 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 1,519 kWh at $233 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Also listed in the county

  • Denton County Elec Coop, Inc: 13.18¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 310,805 residential customers across 6 counties.
  • Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (TX): 15.07¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 117,857 residential customers across 16 counties.
  • Farmers Electric Coop, Inc: 11.95¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 88,221 residential customers across 12 counties.
  • Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC: 5.64¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 3,545,814 residential customers across 99 counties.

These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Coppell. They are the largest bundled providers, and the largest delivery-only one, 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.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Coppell 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 15.47¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $235 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.

Payback, buyback.

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.
