I have a modest set of solar panels on an entirely ordinary house in suburban London. On average they generate about 3,800kWh per year. We also use about 3,800kWh of electricity each year. Obviously, we can't use all the power produced over summer and we need to buy power in winter. So here's my question: How big a battery would we need in order to be completely self-sufficient?

I guess if you don’t understand units of water per area, then there is no reason to expect you to be able to do any kind of critical analysis about why “pumped hydro” is a problem.
Dude, people can laugh at a term while still being able to do “critical analysis” 🙄 “foot pound” sounds funny too. People can giggle about Uranus and still be astronomers.
I can’t stop laughing at this as a unit of measurement
It’s easier to visualize than 325 kilo-gallons.

I am not American, so why would I use an American unit of measurement?
You can use whatever moon-units you want. I prefer to use people-centric units.
Ok, if you want an approximate American unit equivalent to a megalitre think of it as cube that can fit a blue whale
