Against Dallas

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 182 km to the northwest, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Gallatin models 68 kWh per kW (4.5%) below it. Gallatin lies 0.89 degrees of latitude south of Dallas, 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 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 Fort Worth, 229 km northwest, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Gallatin runs 103 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Gallatin 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 $221 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
