FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Joules are in 1 Kilowatt-hour (kWh)?

There are exactly 3,600,000 Joules (or 3.6 Megajoules) in 1 kWh.

What is the difference between a calorie and a Calorie?

A lowercase calorie (cal) is a small metric unit (4.184 J). A capitalized Calorie (Cal) is a food calorie, which is actually a kilocalorie (1,000 small calories or 4,184 J).
