Utility-Scale Battery Storage: What You Need To Know
Unlike residential energy storage systems, whose technical specifications are expressed in kilowatts, utility-scale battery storage is measured in megawatts (1 megawatt = 1,000 kilowatts). A typical residential solar battery will be rated to provide around 5 kilowatts of power. It can store between 10 and 15 kilowatt-hours of usable
Battery rated energy vs. capacity
Consider a power bank with an energy content of 37 Wh and a capacity of 10 Ah. Compared to the residential battery System A with a capacity six times as large, the energy content of the power bank is as much as 264 times smaller. This is due to the difference in internal voltage, as the power bank battery voltage is only 3.7 V.

Solar Battery Types: Key Differences | EnergySage
Think about the example above of the difference between a light bulb and an AC unit. If you have a 5 kW, 10 kWh battery, you can only run your AC unit for two hours (4.8 kW 2 hours = 9.6 kWh). However, that same battery would be able to keep 20 lightbulbs on for two full days (0.012 kW 20 lightbulbs * 42 hours = 10 kWh).
