Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between kW and kWh?

kW (kilowatt) measures power or the rate of energy use, while kWh (kilowatt-hour) measures energy consumption over time, quantifying the total energy used. kW, or kilowatt, is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) that represents a rate of 1,000 watts of energy being used or produced at any instant.

Why are solar panels rated in kWh?

For example, solar panels are often rated in kW to indicate their power generation capacity at peak sunlight, while batteries are described in terms of kWh to specify how much energy they can store and supply over time. A unit of power equal to 1,000 watts.

Why do energy providers charge based on kWh?

For instance, a device with a high kW rating might seem powerful but could be more costly to operate if used frequently, as reflected in kWh. Energy providers charge customers based on kWh, not kW, because kWh accounts for the actual energy used over time, making it a more accurate measure of consumption and cost.

Is kW a unit of energy?

The kW is a unit of power. (Strictly speaking energy isn't actually generated or used, it's converted from one form into another. Like how the energy stored in oil is converted into heat when you burn it. And like how the electricity that runs a fan is converted into the motion of the fan blade (kinetic energy).
