Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 72 km to the southeast, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Alvord models 15 kWh per kW (1.0%) above it. Alvord lies 0.58 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, 107 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Alvord runs 50 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Alvord runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, June, July, September. It runs at least 2% lower in October.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery in this county. Where Alvord is on Oncor Electric Delivery's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Alvord 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 1,550 kWh at $237 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Alvord 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 $239 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
