Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 172 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Moran models 88 kWh per kW (5.7%) above it. At 0.23 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 (2.4 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, 226 km east, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Moran runs 123 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Moran runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, September, October, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery and AEP Texas North in this county. Where Moran is on Oncor Electric Delivery and AEP Texas North's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Moran 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 1,623 kWh at $249 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

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 Moran 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 $250 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
