not sure you are right to use kWh - kW yes, but not kWh

He's right ... 80 watts x 12 hours = 960 watt-hours = 0.96kWh


I agree with you! Absolutely but the previous person said, "12h a day is
near enough 1kWh". It isn't - it is 0.96kWh

Not trying to be pedantic - but it makes a big difference if you start to
cross reference to other information.

Lesson:

1 Kilowatt running for one hour is 1 kilowatt hour.

500 watts running for one hour = 0.5 kilowatt hour.

1 kilowatt running for 30 mins = 0.5 kilowatt hour

&

80 watts x 12 hours = 960 watt-hours = 0.96kWh


??????????? Durrrr .... Which is "near enough 1 kWh", exactly as stated
....
