Against Austin

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 32 km to the south, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Leander models 49 kWh per kW (3.3%) above it. At 0.27 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The weather station for Leander is 0.0 km from the modeled point, against 1.5 km for Austin, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.

The second-nearest large place is San Antonio, 139 km southwest, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Leander runs 27 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Leander runs at least 2% higher in January, April, November, December. It runs at least 2% lower in February, March.

Scale the Leander 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 $237 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
