Sun on a roof in Edom.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Edom at 1,469 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 0.9 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

How Edom comparesderived from the figures above
Where Edom sits.
Edom ranks 939th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 23rd percentile. Its 1,469 kWh per kW is below the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are July, August, May and the weakest are February, December, January; output peaks in July and bottoms out in February. In all, 29.7% of the year arrives in June, July and August, more than the 29.3% of the median place.

Against Dallas
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 118 km to the northwest, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Edom models 31 kWh per kW (2.1%) below it. Edom lies 0.42 degrees of latitude south of Dallas, 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 Edom is 0.9 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, 169 km west, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Edom runs 66 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Electricity in Van Zandt CountyEIA-861
Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power in this county. Where Edom 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 Edom 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 1,469 kWh at $225 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.
Also listed in the county
- Southwestern Electric Power Co: 12.6¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 157,119 residential customers across 25 counties.
- Farmers Electric Coop, Inc: 11.95¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 88,221 residential customers across 12 counties.
- Trinity Valley Elec Coop Inc: 12.24¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 82,224 residential customers across 6 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 Edom. 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 Edom 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 $226 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.
