The "-5" option to gendaymtx is special to the 5-phase method, and puts all the solar energy into a single patch, re-normalizing it to get the correct irradiance for the solar disk size (specified as 0.533 degrees).

It is better to extract the single point of interest from your .wea file, removing all the other times and dates, and give this to gendaymtx with the same options. Then, you should get the result you are after.
