1 kW (kilowatt) is a unit of power that measures how much energy is being used or produced over time.
- **1 kW = 1,000 watts**.
- Power is the rate at which energy is used or generated, and the watt is the standard unit of power.
So, when something is rated as 1 kW, it means that it consumes or produces 1,000 joules of energy per second.
For example:
- A **1 kW electric heater** uses 1,000 joules of energy every second it’s running.
- A **1 kW solar panel** generates 1,000 joules of energy every second when it's under full sunlight.
It’s a practical way to measure how much energy appliances or systems use or produce in real-time.
