Energy costs in Irving, TX
Energy prices are published by state, not by city, so the rates and bills below are Texas figures and apply to Irving the same as anywhere else in the state. The solar production is different: that is modelled for Irving's own coordinates, and it varies a lot within a single state.
Solar at Irving's coordinates
8,993kWh a year from 6 kW
That is close to the Texas average, so the state figure would not have misled you here. At 16.44¢ a kilowatt hour it pays back in about 8.1 years with full net metering.

Common questions
What is the electricity rate in Irving?
16.44¢ per kilowatt hour. That is the Texas residential average from the EIA — rates are published per state, not per city, so it applies across Irving and the rest of Texas alike.
What is the average electric bill in Irving?
About $173 a month for a typical Texas household. Again this is a state figure: EIA reports revenue and customer counts by state, so a city-level bill would be an invention.
Is solar worth it in Irving?
A 6 kW system at Irving's coordinates is modelled at about 8,993 kilowatt hours a year, which pays for itself in roughly 8.1 years at Texas electricity prices with full net metering. This one is genuinely local — production is modelled for this point, not the state.
