Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 417 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Tahoka models 214 kWh per kW (13.9%) above it. Tahoka lies 0.38 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 two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (2.2 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 El Paso, 458 km west, where the same model gives 1,835 kWh per kW, so Tahoka runs 86 below that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Tahoka runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery in this county. Where Tahoka is on Oncor Electric Delivery's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Tahoka 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 1,749 kWh at $268 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

They are the largest bundled providers, and the largest delivery-only one, whose EIA service territory lists the county. A county can list several, and which one serves a street depends on the address, so check your bill.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Tahoka 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 $269 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
