Against San Antonio

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is San Antonio, 141 km to the northwest, at 1,505 kWh per kW. Goliad models 55 kWh per kW (3.7%) below it. Goliad lies 0.79 degrees of latitude south of San Antonio, 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 (2.4 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 Austin, 185 km north, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Goliad runs 33 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, April, May, June, August, September, November.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists AEP Texas Central in this county. Where Goliad is on AEP Texas Central's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Goliad 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 1,450 kWh at $222 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

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 Goliad 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 $223 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
