Against Houston

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Houston, 61 km to the south, at 1,422 kWh per kW. Cut and Shoot models 23 kWh per kW (1.6%) below it. Cut and Shoot lies 0.55 degrees of latitude north of Houston, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.5 km and 2.4 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Austin, 230 km west, where the same model gives 1,483 kWh per kW, so Cut and Shoot runs 84 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October.
