A domestic PV array in bright sunlight produces less than 4 kW, only a
bit above a rapid boil kettle...

There's a big poster at my local Sainsbury's which says they generate
enough electricity to boil every kettle in the town. But not
simultaneously I suspect! And mine is a traditional one on gas hob, so
that's a neat trick (maybe my share is the electricity to ignite the
gas...)
