Against Houston

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Houston, 169 km to the northeast, at 1,422 kWh per kW. Point Comfort models 125 kWh per kW (8.8%) above it. Point Comfort lies 1.12 degrees of latitude south of Houston, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its higher modeled output. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (3.0 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 San Antonio, 210 km northwest, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Point Comfort runs 42 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Point Comfort runs at least 2% higher in February, March, April, May, October, November, December. It runs at least 2% lower in January, July, 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 1,547 kWh at $237 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Scale the Point Comfort 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 $238 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
