Sun on a roof in Perryton.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Perryton at 1,648 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 2.9 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, 511 km to the southeast, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Perryton models 113 kWh per kW (7.4%) above it. Perryton lies 3.61 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The weather station for Perryton is 2.9 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, 544 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Perryton runs 148 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Perryton runs at least 2% higher in January, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Providers listed in the county
- Southwestern Public Service Co: 13.94¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 223,685 residential customers across 45 counties.
- North Plains Electric Coop Inc: 11.53¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 3,093 residential customers across 7 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 1,648 kWh would come to $230 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Perryton 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 $254 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.
