Electra, TXLocal --:--Sun now --Daylight today --

Sun on a roof in Electra.

The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Electra at 1,619 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.

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

How Electra comparesderived from the figures above

Where Electra sits.

Electra ranks 209th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 83rd percentile. Its 1,619 kWh per kW is above the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are May, July, June and the weakest are December, February, January; output peaks in May and bottoms out in December. In all, 28.4% of the year arrives in June, July and August, less than the 29.3% of the median place.

Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 201 km to the southeast, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Electra models 84 kWh per kW (5.5%) above it. Electra lies 1.25 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 weather station for Electra is 2.9 km from the modeled point, against 1.5 km for Fort Worth, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.

The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 243 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Electra runs 119 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Electra runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, September, October, November.

Electricity in Wichita CountyEIA-861

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery and AEP Texas North in this county. Where Electra is on Oncor Electric Delivery and AEP Texas North's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Electra 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 1,619 kWh at $248 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Also listed in the county

These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Electra. 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.

Modeled estimateruns in your browser

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Electra 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 $249 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.

  • A model estimate for a generic system at this point, not a measurement and not a promise of output.
  • Shading, roof pitch, equipment and local rates will differ.
  • All prices on this site are in cents per kWh unless marked otherwise. Bills are US dollars per month.
