I still don't get it. Is it 500MW averaged over the _whole_ year including nights, or 500MWp?

The article explains that that number is "the total amount of energy produced" over the year, so it's averaged over the whole year including nights. The peak power is irrelevant to the total amount of energy produced except as an upper bound.
