Against Fort Worth
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 97 km to the south, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Muenster models 22 kWh per kW (1.4%) below it. Muenster lies 0.87 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. The weather station for Muenster is 0.0 km from the modeled point, against 1.5 km for Fort Worth, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 111 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Muenster runs 13 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Muenster runs at least 2% higher in February, April, May, October. It runs at least 2% lower in January, March, July, September, November.
Electricity in Cooke CountyEIA-861
Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power in this county. Where Muenster is on Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Muenster 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 1,513 kWh at $232 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Muenster 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 $233 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.
