Here you go: E = mgh 1000l tank = 1000kg 7m high roof (~2 stories) E = 1000kg * 9.81ms^-2 * 7m =~ 70 000j 1Wh = 3600j So a 1000l tank on your two story high roof would be able to store ~19Wh Not including mechanical losses For comparison a

Quick calculation: 1000L tank on a roof which is ~4m high. E = m * g * h = 1000 * 9.8 * 4 = ~40,000J Which is about 12Wh not taking into account any losses. You could maybe improve this by having the water fall into a well but still nowhere
