How Industry comparesderived from the figures above

Where Industry sits.

Industry ranks 986th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 19th percentile. Its 1,459 kWh per kW is below the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are July, August, June and the weakest are December, January, February; output peaks in July and bottoms out in December. In all, 30.1% of the year arrives in June, July and August, more than the 29.3% of the median place.

Against Houston

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Houston, 109 km to the east, at 1,422 kWh per kW. Industry models 37 kWh per kW (2.6%) above it. At 0.18 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The weather station for Industry is 0.0 km from the modeled point, against 2.4 km for Houston, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.

The second-nearest large place is Austin, 126 km west, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Industry runs 24 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, March, April, May, August, September, October, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric in this county. Where Industry is on CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Industry 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 1,459 kWh at $224 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Also listed in the county

• Bluebonnet Electric Coop, Inc: 11.59¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 119,030 residential customers across 14 counties.
• San Bernard Electric Coop, Inc: 14.11¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 32,557 residential customers across 8 counties.
• Fayette Electric Coop, Inc: 12.53¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 14,439 residential customers across 8 counties.
• CenterPoint Energy: 5.41¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 2,529,039 residential customers across 12 counties.

These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Industry. 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 Industry 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 $225 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
