Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 289 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Blackwell models 129 kWh per kW (8.4%) above it. Blackwell lies 0.69 degrees of latitude south of Fort Worth, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its higher modeled output. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.9 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 Austin, 315 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Blackwell runs 181 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Blackwell runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, October, November, December.

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 1,664 kWh at $255 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Scale the Blackwell 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 $256 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
