electrical wind power
Solar/wind electrical generation?
When you are looking at solar panels or wind turbines and they say how much power they can produce, 2400 watts or 5,000 watts or whatever, what unit of time is that figuring? Is that per hour of ideal conditions? Per day? To me if it says 2.5 kWh, that sounds like 2500 watts an hour, but I’m no expert.
You are absolutely correct! Your question pretty much answers itself!
Just to clarify further 2500 watts is 2500 joules every second. Theoretically this means in one hour the total amount of energy produced would be 2500 (joules/second) * 3600 (seconds in an hour).
But You and I know circumstances will change! Sun light will vary throughout the day. Therefore, the companies boast off by saying stuff like maximum power possible. In fact in my experience the maximum power is seldom possible depending on where you are located.
