“Not my line of work, but methinks this is close to perpetual motion?”

Why?

And what is a kw/h?

Energy dissipation or usage rate

Why?

Unlike applying brakes on a car with regenerative braking when needing to slow down, this is like driving with a foot on the brake all the time to regen the battery.
More than a bit of lost motion in the system.

And what is a kw/h?

kWh or sometimes kW⋅h, about the slash?
You will have to check with author for that one.

One kilo, or thousand watts used or produced for an hour. An all frills american house runs about 5 kilowatt hour at peak, a refrigerator uses about a half a kilowatt, a light bulb about 20 watts..

So they bought a hundred houses worth of solar to play with.

Or looked at another way a hundred houses worth of solar was taken from citizens so they could play green weenie.

Stupid.
