Against San Antonio

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is San Antonio, 203 km to the northwest, at 1,505 kWh per kW. Robstown models 46 kWh per kW (3.1%) above it. Robstown lies 1.67 degrees of latitude south of San Antonio, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its higher modeled output. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (2.4 km and 2.2 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Austin, 279 km north, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Robstown runs 68 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Robstown runs at least 2% higher in January, March, April, May, October, December. It runs at least 2% lower in February, September.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists AEP Texas Central in this county. Where Robstown is on AEP Texas Central's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Robstown 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 1,551 kWh at $238 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Robstown 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 $239 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
