Against Dallas

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 160 km to the west, at 1,500 kWh per kW. New Chapel Hill models 37 kWh per kW (2.5%) below it. New Chapel Hill lies 0.49 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, 211 km west, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so New Chapel Hill runs 72 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, June, August, October, November, December.
