What is a kW and what is a kWh?
A kW (kilo-watt) is a rate of energy production or consumption, and a kWh (kilo-watt-hour) is a unit of energy. Think of it like driving in your car. Miles per hour is a rate at which you produce distance with your car and a mile is a unit of distance. For example if you drive for 1 hour at 60 miles per hour you have traveled a total of 60 miles. Similarly if you produce 60 kW of power for an hour you have produced a total of 60 kWh.
