Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 146 km to the southeast, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Olney models 60 kWh per kW (3.9%) above it. Olney lies 0.58 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, 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 (2.2 km and 1.5 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 196 km east, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Olney runs 95 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Olney runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, October, November, December. It runs at least 2% lower in September.

For scale only, the median 2025 average price across the 60 Texas retail providers on this site is 15.32¢ per kWh, which would put the modeled 1,595 kWh at $244 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Scale the Olney 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 $246 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
