Sun on a roof in Woodville.

The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Woodville at 1,364 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 0.0 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

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

How Woodville comparesderived from the figures above

Where Woodville sits.

Woodville ranks 1198th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 2nd percentile. Its 1,364 kWh per kW is below the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are May, July, June and the weakest are December, February, November; output peaks in May and bottoms out in December. In all, 28.7% 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, 143 km to the southwest, at 1,422 kWh per kW. Woodville models 58 kWh per kW (4.1%) below it. Woodville lies 0.98 degrees of latitude north of Houston, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. The weather station for Woodville is 0.0 km from the modeled point, against 2.4 km for Houston, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.

The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 316 km northwest, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Woodville runs 136 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Providers listed in the county

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 1,364 kWh would come to $189 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Woodville 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 $210 per kW a year as plain multiplication.

8,184 kWh/yr

About - kWh in an average month. Priced at the chosen rate that energy comes to - a year, by multiplication only.

Assumes the same tilt, direction and equipment as the model below. Real output depends on the roof, shade, equipment and weather.

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.

  • 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.
