Against Austin

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 46 km to the northwest, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Bastrop models 18 kWh per kW (1.2%) below it. At 0.19 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The weather station for Bastrop is 2.9 km from the modeled point, against 1.5 km for Austin, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.

The second-nearest large place is San Antonio, 137 km southwest, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Bastrop runs 40 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in February, March, April, May, July, September, December.

Scale the Bastrop 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 $226 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
