Against Houston
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Houston, 43 km to the northwest, at 1,422 kWh per kW. League City models 18 kWh per kW (1.3%) above it. League City lies 0.3 degrees of latitude south of Houston, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its higher modeled output. The weather station for League City is 1.0 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, 270 km west, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so League City runs 43 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, June, July, August, September, December.

Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric and Texas-New Mexico Power in this county. Where League City is on CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric and Texas-New Mexico Power's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of League City 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 1,440 kWh at $221 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the League City 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 15.47¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $223 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.
