Against Fort Worth
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 176 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Throckmorton models 83 kWh per kW (5.4%) above it. Throckmorton lies 0.4 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.1 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 Dallas, 229 km east, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Throckmorton runs 118 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Throckmorton runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, October, November, December. It runs at least 2% lower in September.
Electricity in Throckmorton CountyEIA-861
Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists AEP Texas North in this county. Where Throckmorton is on AEP Texas North's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Throckmorton 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 1,618 kWh at $248 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Throckmorton 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 $249 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.
