You still can't meaningfully use "Watts per day" in that context (for that matter, I struggle to imagine a scenario in which it was a meaningful unit).
Given the number involved was 160, I suspect the likely unit they meant was "Watt-hours per day".

- danielheath 5y agoStorage is watt-hours. Watts per day would be used to describe the rate at which your power consumption increases (eg “as winter comes on, power used heating the boat will increase 100 watts per day”).
- DarylZero 5y agoWatts per day could be used to describe the rate of decay of strength of a team of horses on expedition. But probably for that application you'd better use horsepower instead.
- bobsmooth 5y ago>I struggle to imagine a scenario in which it was a meaningful unit "The solar power plant is increasing its generation capacity at a rate of 2kW/day." :)
- therein 5y agoAre they increasing it 2kW every day or are they increasing the their production once by 2kW/day? That's also unclear. Either way, I think it gets more clear if you say 0.083kVAh increase to the production.
- bobsmooth 5y agoIf the plant only increased its capacity once, then the calculation would be power/time * (length of time), so it wouldn't make sense to express it as a rate.
