Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 386 km to the southeast, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Quitaque models 163 kWh per kW (10.6%) above it. Quitaque lies 1.59 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 weather station for Quitaque is 0.0 km from the modeled point, against 1.5 km for Fort Worth, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.

The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 434 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Quitaque runs 198 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Quitaque runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists AEP Texas North in this county. Where Quitaque is on AEP Texas North's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Quitaque may instead be served by a co-op or utility listed below, which sets its own rates; check your bill. 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 1,698 kWh at $260 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Quitaque 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 $261 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
