Sun on a roof in San Augustine.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in San Augustine at 1,360 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 0.9 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, 229 km to the southwest, at 1,422 kWh per kW. San Augustine models 62 kWh per kW (4.4%) below it. San Augustine lies 1.74 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 weather station for San Augustine is 0.9 km from the modeled point, against 2.4 km for Houston, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 287 km northwest, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so San Augustine runs 140 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
- Deep East Texas Elec Coop Inc: 14.05¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 40,593 residential customers across 8 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 1,360 kWh would come to $191 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the San Augustine 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 $209 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.
