Sun on a roof in Omaha.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Omaha at 1,473 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.

Scroll from January to December: the noon sun over Omaha climbs and falls, and the modeled output follows it.

How Omaha comparesderived from the figures above
Where Omaha sits.
Omaha ranks 927th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 24th percentile. Its 1,473 kWh per kW is below the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are August, June, July and the weakest are December, February, January; output peaks in August and bottoms out in December. In all, 29.9% of the year arrives in June, July and August, more than the 29.3% of the median place.

Against Dallas
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 194 km to the west, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Omaha models 27 kWh per kW (1.8%) below it. Omaha lies 0.39 degrees of latitude north of Dallas, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. The weather station for Omaha is 1.1 km from the modeled point, against 2.4 km for Dallas, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is Fort Worth, 247 km west, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Omaha runs 62 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in February, March, July, November, December.

Providers listed in the county
- Southwestern Electric Power Co: 12.6¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 157,119 residential customers across 25 counties.
- Upshur Rural Elec Coop Corp: 12.71¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 44,971 residential customers across 10 counties.
- Bowie-Cass Electric Coop, Inc: 13.35¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 34,727 residential customers across 6 counties.
They are the largest bundled providers 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. Priced at the first provider's average, the modeled 1,473 kWh would come to $186 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Omaha 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 $227 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.
