Sun on a roof in Peaster.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Peaster at 1,545 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 0.9 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Against Fort Worth
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 49 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Peaster models 10 kWh per kW (0.7%) above it. The two figures are within 1 percent, which is about the size of the difference you get from two neighboring weather stations alone, so this page's result is effectively the same as Fort Worth's.
The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 103 km east, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Peaster runs 45 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Peaster runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September. It runs at least 2% lower in October, November, December.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Peaster 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 $238 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.
