For buildings that purchase raw fuel (such as natural gas) and convert it to power on-site, a site energy measurement would account for the losses that occur during this conversion, because site energy is based on the fuel that is purchased.
Source energy, on the other hand, takes into account the entire train of power from creation to distribution and through to the use of energy by the consumer, which we know as site energy. Source energy includes the site energy plus all of the energy used to provide and distribute the site energy.
You’re probably already familiar with site energy, which is the amount of heat and electricity consumed by a building as reflected in your utility bills. Looking at site energy can help you understand how the energy use for an individual building has changed over time.
Solar power units are generally measured in two main ways: kilowatts (kW) and kilowatt-hours (kWh). These units might sound similar, but they serve different purposes. To make informed decisions about your solar energy system, it’s essential to grasp what each of these terms means. Kilowatts (kW): This measures the power output at any given moment.
