I'm about 50 miles north of ABQ. I have a 6.7kW ground mount array. Using its rated output, and the average of 9.28 hours of sunshine per day, and no adjustment for hourly insolation variation I should get about 1.9MW a month. I actually get about 1MW, with not much variation from month to month.
I am optimistic that Santa Fe will soon see a new utility scale PV generation install that ought to generate power (with storage!) corresponding to roughly 1/3 of the city's residental use. The standard NIMBY-but-I'm-all-for-solar-have-some-myself crowd is out in force, however.
