Against El Paso

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is El Paso, 368 km to the west, at 1,835 kWh per kW. Seminole models 71 kWh per kW (3.9%) below it. Seminole lies 0.87 degrees of latitude north of El Paso, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. 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 Fort Worth, 496 km east, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Seminole runs 229 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Seminole runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery in this county. Where Seminole is on Oncor Electric Delivery's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Seminole 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 1,764 kWh at $270 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Seminole 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 $272 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
