home vs factory solar system scale

Home vs factory scale: same sun, different problems

A home system and a factory system differ by more than size. They differ in what writes the load list, in when energy is used, and in what failure means. This page compares the two using the two complete configurations as the anchors at each end.

Two anchors, two methods

At the household end stands the 5KW home system with battery backup: sized against a named list of household appliances, with storage doing heavy work because homes use energy morning and evening. At the factory end stands the 200KW factory system: sized against production, with the working day and the sun in step.

Between those anchors, scale is a continuum but method is a choice. A large villa should be planned with the household method even if its system is big; a small workshop should be planned with the factory method even if its system is modest. Choose the method by the building's behaviour, not by the number on the quotation.
