OK, I know the kW 'power' versus kWh 'Measure of amount used' So I'm looking at a tiny pico-hydro generator that generates up to around 1kW of power. I only want it to charge batteries, but I then read 'this is enough to power an average house'!!!! I have a kettle that is 2kW and a 3kW electric fire, if they're both turned on that's a demand of 5kW right there. How can a 1kW generator meet that demand??? So I look at online graph supposedly showing the load in an average house over 24 hours. It reckons peak load is around 7pm when loads of devices & cooking are all on, but it shows the demand as only around 700 watts????? Not even 1kW???? Can someone explain please, this is driving me mad!
