10 kWh per day

This gave me a chuckle. 10 kilojoules per second for an hour per day.

They have said it wrong, its more like 42 000 miliWat minutes 4 times a day

Is it wrong, though? Hours and days cancel out to give you the energy production rate (10,000 watt*hours/24 hours or just under 420 watts).
