Sun on a roof in Weimar.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Weimar at 1,495 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.

How Weimar comparesderived from the figures above
Where Weimar sits.
Weimar ranks 792nd of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 35th percentile. Its 1,495 kWh per kW is below the Texas median of 1,515.

Against Austin
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 115 km to the northwest, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Weimar models 12 kWh per kW (0.8%) 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 Austin's.
The second-nearest large place is Houston, 135 km east, where the same model gives 1,422 kWh per kW, so Weimar runs 73 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Weimar runs at least 2% higher in February. It runs at least 2% lower in January, June, July, August.

Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric and AEP Texas Central in this county. Where Weimar is on CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric and AEP Texas Central's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Weimar 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 1,495 kWh at $229 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.
Also listed in the county
- Bluebonnet Electric Coop, Inc: 11.59¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 119,030 residential customers across 14 counties.
- San Bernard Electric Coop, Inc: 14.11¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 32,557 residential customers across 8 counties.
- Fayette Electric Coop, Inc: 12.53¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 14,439 residential customers across 8 counties.
- CenterPoint Energy: 5.41¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 2,529,039 residential customers across 12 counties.
These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Weimar. 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 Weimar 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 $230 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.
