Against El Paso

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is El Paso, 310 km to the west, at 1,835 kWh per kW. Wink models 42 kWh per kW (2.3%) below it. At 0.1 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The weather station for Wink 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, 511 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Wink runs 288 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Wink runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Scale the Wink 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.
