Against San Antonio
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is San Antonio, 14 km to the south, at 1,505 kWh per kW. Shavano Park models 49 kWh per kW (3.3%) below it. At 0.12 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (2.2 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, 112 km northeast, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Shavano Park runs 27 below that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Shavano Park runs at least 2% higher in December. It runs at least 2% lower in February, March, April, May, June, July, September, October, November.

Priced at the first provider's average, the modeled 1,456 kWh would come to $181 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Shavano Park 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 $224 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.
