What a bakery’s load looks like
Refrigerators, freezers, display chillers and air conditioning run all day; mixers and other equipment run in production hours; the shop runs into the evening. Solar covers the daytime share. What runs before sunrise and after sunset is grid or generator power, and part of the evening falls in the grid’s peak window.
Small systems still need watching
A 10 or 50 kW system is easy to forget. But a dead string on a small system is a larger share of its output than on a big one, and nobody notices because the bill only drifts up slowly. Across the solar Wattey SPC monitors, 61% of inverters had a dead string or went silent within 60 days while the owner’s app still showed a working plant (as of 25 August 2026).
