Solar array performance is measured in Watts, not watt-hours.

Solar array performance is also apparently measured in "watt-hours-per-day", a term that gives a better understanding of the total energy available from sun-up to sun-down since the rate in watts will vary throughout the day.

Why do they measure it in Watts? I live in Long Beach, not far from Watts. Why couldn't we measure it here, too?
