Sun on a roof in Rose Hill Acres.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Rose Hill Acres at 1,393 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 2.4 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Against Houston
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Houston, 124 km to the west, at 1,422 kWh per kW. Rose Hill Acres models 29 kWh per kW (2.0%) below it. Rose Hill Acres lies 0.4 degrees of latitude north of Houston, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (2.4 km and 2.4 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.
The second-nearest large place is Austin, 342 km west, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Rose Hill Acres runs 90 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Providers listed in the county
- Entergy Texas Inc.: 13.89¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 469,094 residential customers across 27 counties.
- Sam Houston Electric Coop Inc: 14.18¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 88,424 residential customers across 10 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 1,393 kWh would come to $193 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Rose Hill Acres 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 $215 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.
