A kilowatt is simply a measure of how much power an electric appliance consumes—it’s ­­1,000 watts to be exact. So, a kWh refers to the amount of 1000 watts of energy your household consumes per hour. The total output energy produced by a solar system, as well as the amount stored in solar batteries is measured this way.
