Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 80 km to the south, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Valley View models 23 kWh per kW (1.5%) below it. Valley View lies 0.7 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, 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 (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 Dallas, 85 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Valley View runs 12 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Valley View runs at least 2% higher in January, March. It runs at least 2% lower in August, October, November, December.

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 1,512 kWh at $232 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Scale the Valley View 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 $233 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
