Sun on a roof in Lampasas.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Lampasas at 1,525 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 1.1 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Against Austin
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 94 km to the southeast, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Lampasas models 42 kWh per kW (2.8%) above it. Lampasas lies 0.76 degrees of latitude north of Austin, 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 (1.1 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 San Antonio, 181 km south, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Lampasas runs 20 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Lampasas runs at least 2% higher in January, February, September, November, December. It runs at least 2% lower in April, June, July.
Electricity in Lampasas CountyEIA-861
Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery in this county. Where Lampasas is on Oncor Electric Delivery's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Lampasas 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 1,525 kWh at $234 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

- Pedernales Electric Coop, Inc: 12.75¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 420,753 residential customers across 24 counties.
- Hamilton County Elec Coop Assn: 12.64¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 19,876 residential customers across 7 counties.

These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Lampasas. 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 Lampasas 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 $235 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.
