Without doing a whole lot of math myself, the Wiki breaks it down and summarizes it in comparison to basic accumulators:
The Calculation:
That means if you take .84 * 5,000 = 4,200 kilo joules. You should be able to test this if you isolate an accumulator and a solar panel from the rest of the power grid, and watch the accumulator's Joule level increase as soon as the accumulator starts to get charged up by the solar panel. It should equal ~4.2MJ when the solar reaches 0kW again.
