When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. These initiatives have largely focused on renewable electric power generation, distribution, and storage. But we also have to cut emissions from heating.”

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.
