Sun on a roof in Taylor Landing.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Taylor Landing at 1,445 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.

Where Taylor Landing sits.
Taylor Landing ranks 1054th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 14th percentile. Its 1,445 kWh per kW is below the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are May, July, June and the weakest are December, February, January; output peaks in May and bottoms out in December. In all, 28.0% of the year arrives in June, July and August, less than the 29.3% of the median place.

Against Houston
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Houston, 122 km to the west, at 1,422 kWh per kW. Taylor Landing models 23 kWh per kW (1.6%) above it. At 0.08 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 (2.4 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, 352 km west, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Taylor Landing runs 38 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in May, June, July, August, September, October, December.

Providers listed in the county
- Entergy Texas Inc.: 13.89¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 469,094 residential customers across 27 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 1,445 kWh would come to $201 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Taylor Landing 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 $223 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.
