Town of Pecos lies 0.46 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 weather station for Town of Pecos is 2.4 km from the modeled point, against 0.9 km for El Paso, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is San Antonio, 526 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Town of Pecos runs 287 above that figure.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Town of Pecos 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 $276 per kW a year as plain multiplication.

Getting a measured number
A model cannot see your roof. Installers measure pitch, shade and the electrical panel on site. Quote marketplaces such as EnergySage, SolarReviews and WattBuy collect bids from local installers. Rate & Roof does not rank installers.

Payback, buyback.
The sliders above price the energy at one rate. The payback calculator adds the system cost and your buyback plan type, and shows every assumption. It is an estimate, not advice.
