Dayton Lakes lies 0.35 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 weather station for Dayton Lakes is 1.1 km from the modeled point, against 2.4 km for Houston, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
