Against Fort Worth
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 56 km to the northeast, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Granbury models 36 kWh per kW (2.3%) above it. Granbury lies 0.35 degrees of latitude south of Fort Worth, 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 (2.2 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, 103 km northeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Granbury runs 71 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Granbury runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, May, July, August, September, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power in this county. Where Granbury 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 Granbury 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 1,571 kWh at $241 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

- Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (TX): 15.07¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 117,857 residential customers across 16 counties.

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 Granbury 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 $242 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.
