Against Austin

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 248 km to the southeast, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Paint Rock models 170 kWh per kW (11.5%) above it. Paint Rock lies 1.21 degrees of latitude north of Austin, 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 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 San Antonio, 265 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Paint Rock runs 148 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Paint Rock runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, November, December.
