Against El Paso

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is El Paso, 322 km to the northwest, at 1,835 kWh per kW. Presidio models 24 kWh per kW (1.3%) below it. Presidio lies 2.29 degrees of latitude south of El Paso, 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 0.9 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, 566 km east, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Presidio runs 306 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Presidio runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, September, October, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists AEP Texas North in this county. Where Presidio is on AEP Texas North's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan.

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 1,811 kWh at $277 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Presidio 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 $279 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
