Solar Basics Pt 1: The Difference Between Power And Energy
What is the difference between ‘solar energy’ and ‘solar power’?
Did you think they were one and the same thing? No.
Believe it or not, there’s an important difference between solar power and solar energy. To be more specific, there’s a large and important difference between what constitutes power ( kW )and what constitutes energy ( kWh).
To specify a solar power or battery system for your home, you absolutely need to understand the difference. If you don’t, you can get into all sorts of trouble.
In about three and a half minutes, you’ll fully understand the difference between power and energy and thus will know more than, I’m sad to say, some solar salespeople.
