Hi folks - This is for my minivan. I have: - 24 hour usage around 1 kilowatt, on average. Half a kw on a lazy day (which usually = a cloudy or rainy day, for me). Max I have read on the kill...

how many KwHrs per day is used
is that 500wattHrs and 500wattHrs equal 1 Kwhr
or is that 24v motor use 22amps = 500w when running, 3hrs of use would be 1.5Kwhrs
a 100w light bulb consumes 100w of power very instant, 6 hrs = 600 watt hrs
aka 0.6 KwHr
Ok, I think I got it. Thanks for explaining.
500 is the total it took to recharge the batteries. I ran the charger through the kwmeter; after it finished it read 500 on the total. While it was running, it read 70-90 on the instantaneous, but that varied by charging stage. So, 500 watt hours.
today has been overcast heavy marine layer, i have 505 watts of solar on the roof
Thank you for the detailed example. I really appreciate when people post real world numbers!
