Against Austin

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 72 km to the southeast, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Sunrise Beach Village models 43 kWh per kW (2.9%) above it. At 0.29 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 1.5 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is San Antonio, 126 km south, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Sunrise Beach Village runs 21 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Sunrise Beach Village runs at least 2% higher in January, February, November, December. It runs at least 2% lower in March, May.

Providers listed in the county

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 1,526 kWh would come to $195 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Sunrise Beach Village 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 $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.

  • A model estimate for a generic system at this point, not a measurement and not a promise of output.
  • Shading, roof pitch, equipment and local rates will differ.
  • All prices on this site are in cents per kWh unless marked otherwise. Bills are US dollars per month.
