energy output
Watts being released
Energy output is the amount of energy produced or released by a system, device, or process over a given period.
Power plants have energy output measured in megawatts; a person's energy output during exercise can be measured in calories burned.
The term appears in discussions of efficiency, where energy output is compared to energy input: The solar panel's energy output dropped on cloudy days.
