Sun on a roof in Rocky Mound.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Rocky Mound at 1,484 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.

Against Dallas
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 165 km to the west, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Rocky Mound models 16 kWh per kW (1.1%) below it. At 0.23 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The weather station for Rocky Mound 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, 219 km west, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Rocky Mound runs 51 below that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Rocky Mound runs at least 2% higher in May. It runs at least 2% lower in February, March, August, September, November, December.

- Wood County Electric Coop, Inc: 12.83¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 36,173 residential customers across 9 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 1,484 kWh would come to $187 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Rocky Mound 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 $229 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.
