Sun on a roof in Tehuacana.

The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Tehuacana at 1,514 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 1.1 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Scroll from January to December: the noon sun over Tehuacana climbs and falls, and the modeled output follows it.

How Tehuacana comparesderived from the figures above

Where Tehuacana sits.

Tehuacana ranks 615th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 50th percentile. Its 1,514 kWh per kW is below the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are July, August, May and the weakest are February, December, November; output peaks in July and bottoms out in February. In all, 29.4% of the year arrives in June, July and August, more than the 29.3% of the median place.

Against Dallas

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 119 km to the north, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Tehuacana models 14 kWh per kW (0.9%) above it. The two figures are within 1 percent, which is about the size of the difference you get from two neighboring weather stations alone, so this page's result is effectively the same as Dallas's.

The second-nearest large place is Fort Worth, 138 km northwest, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Tehuacana runs 21 below that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Tehuacana runs at least 2% higher in January. It runs at least 2% lower in February, March.

Electricity in Limestone CountyEIA-861

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery in this county. Where Tehuacana is on Oncor Electric Delivery's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Tehuacana 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 1,514 kWh at $232 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Also listed in the county

These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Tehuacana. They are the largest bundled providers, and the largest delivery-only one, 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.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Tehuacana 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 $233 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.

Payback, buyback.

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.

  • 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.
