Sun on a roof in Hallsville.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Hallsville at 1,389 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 1.5 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Against Dallas
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 208 km to the west, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Hallsville models 111 kWh per kW (7.4%) below it. At 0.29 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.5 km and 2.4 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.
The second-nearest large place is Fort Worth, 262 km west, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Hallsville runs 146 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Providers listed in the county
- Southwestern Electric Power Co: 12.6¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 157,119 residential customers across 25 counties.
- Upshur Rural Elec Coop Corp: 12.71¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 44,971 residential customers across 10 counties.
- Panola-Harrison Elec Coop, Inc: 10.66¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 9,432 residential customers across 2 counties.
They are the largest bundled providers 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. Priced at the first provider's average, the modeled 1,389 kWh would come to $175 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Hallsville 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 $214 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.
