Like the man said, you can't store a Kw. You can store enough energy in batteries to provide 100 Kwh (kilowatt hours) of electricity. If the batteries were 12 volt 50 ampere hour rated, you would need 17 batteries. You will have to maintain a continuous trickle charge on the batteries to maintain their capacity.

You can't store a Kw. A Kw is a unit of power and it defined as 1000 volts * amps. You can store energy but not power.

Buy enough gasoline (if you can afford it âº) to run a 20 kW generator for 5 hours.

A large capacitor, or a bank of them. Maybe $100 or so.
