Against San Antonio

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is San Antonio, 211 km to the northwest, at 1,505 kWh per kW. Fulton models 34 kWh per kW (2.3%) above it. Fulton lies 1.39 degrees of latitude south of San Antonio, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its higher modeled output. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (3.0 km and 2.2 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Houston, 250 km northeast, where the same model gives 1,422 kWh per kW, so Fulton runs 117 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Fulton runs at least 2% higher in May, July, October, November. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, April, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists AEP Texas Central in this county. Where Fulton is on AEP Texas Central's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan.

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 1,539 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 Fulton 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.
