Against Austin

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 92 km to the south, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Copperas Cove models 56 kWh per kW (3.8%) above it. Copperas Cove 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 Fort Worth, 192 km north, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Copperas Cove runs 4 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Copperas Cove runs at least 2% higher in January, February, October, November. It runs at least 2% lower in April.

Scale the Copperas Cove 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 15.47¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $238 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
