Against Austin

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 178 km to the southeast, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Brady models 121 kWh per kW (8.2%) above it. Brady lies 0.82 degrees of latitude north of Austin, 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 (1.5 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 San Antonio, 201 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Brady runs 99 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Brady runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, 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 1,604 kWh at $246 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Scale the Brady 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 $247 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
