Against Houston

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Houston, 178 km to the southwest, at 1,422 kWh per kW. Zavalla models 65 kWh per kW (4.6%) below it. Zavalla lies 1.37 degrees of latitude north of Houston, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its lower modeled output. The weather station for Zavalla is 1.1 km from the modeled point, against 2.4 km for Houston, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.

The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 286 km northwest, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Zavalla runs 143 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Zavalla 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 $209 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
