About Kilowatt (kW)

One thousand watts, the kilowatt is the practical unit for household appliance power ratings, solar panel array output, and small generator capacity. A typical home electric kettle draws 1.5-2 kW, rooftop solar systems range from 3-10 kW, and electric vehicle chargers deliver 7-22 kW for home Level 2 charging.

About Gigawatt (GW)

One billion watts, the gigawatt is used for national-scale power generation statistics and major infrastructure. The Hoover Dam produces about 2 GW at peak, and the Three Gorges Dam in China has a capacity of 22.5 GW. The famously quoted '1.21 gigawatts' from Back to the Future is actually a plausible lightning bolt power level.
