Sun on a roof in Corral City.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Corral City at 1,555 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.

Against Fort Worth
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 37 km to the south, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Corral City models 20 kWh per kW (1.3%) above it. Corral City lies 0.32 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.5 km and 1.5 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.
The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 55 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Corral City runs 55 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Corral City runs at least 2% higher in February, May, June, July, August, September, November. It runs at least 2% lower in January, October.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Corral City 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 $239 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.
