Against Dallas

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 43 km to the southeast, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Hickory Creek models 17 kWh per kW (1.1%) above it. Hickory Creek lies 0.32 degrees of latitude north 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 (2.4 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, 47 km southwest, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Hickory Creek runs 18 below that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Hickory Creek runs at least 2% higher in May, July, August. It runs at least 2% lower in June, October.
