Against Austin
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 27 km to the south, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Round Rock models 39 kWh per kW (2.6%) above 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 Round Rock is 0.0 km from the modeled point, against 1.5 km for Austin, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is San Antonio, 145 km southwest, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Round Rock runs 17 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Round Rock runs at least 2% higher in January, August. It runs at least 2% lower in June.

Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery in this county. Where Round Rock is on Oncor Electric Delivery's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Round Rock 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 1,522 kWh at $233 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Round Rock 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 15.47¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $235 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.

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.
