Sun on a roof in Weatherford.

The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Weatherford at 1,563 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.

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

How Weatherford comparesderived from the figures above

Where Weatherford sits.

Weatherford ranks 23rd of 157 Texas places modeled here, at the 86th percentile. Its 1,563 kWh per kW is above the Texas median of 1,518. The strongest months are July, August, May and the weakest are December, January, November; output peaks in July and bottoms out in December. In all, 29.4% of the year arrives in June, July and August, about the same than the 29.4% of the median place.

Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 39 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Weatherford models 28 kWh per kW (1.8%) above it. At 0.03 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 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, 94 km east, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Weatherford runs 63 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Weatherford runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, October, December. It runs at least 2% lower in November.

Electricity in Parker CountyEIA-861

Electricity prices nearby

Weatherford is served by its own municipal utility, Weatherford Mun Utility System. Municipal utilities in Texas generally sit outside retail choice, so homes in the city buy from the city utility. Its 2025 residential average was 12.8¢ per kWh, which would put the modeled 1,563 kWh at $200 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Other providers listed in the county

  • Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (TX): 15.07¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 117,857 residential customers across 16 counties.
  • Wise Electric Coop Inc: 15.33¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 20,682 residential customers across 7 counties.
  • Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC: 5.64¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 3,545,814 residential customers across 99 counties.

These serve areas outside the city utility. 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 Weatherford 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 15.47¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $242 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.
