Capacity seems less meaningful on these charts since the net load shown on the "total" chart is the consumption (positive) minus production (negative), and nodes are considered over-capacity only when the net load is too extreme. You could have a technology consuming well beyond the capacity of the node, but as long as some other technology is producing then the node isn't over-capacity.

Imagine if the node capacity were 24kW; if we draw it as a straight red line on the stacked chart – as we do on the "total load" chart – it may give the impression that the node is over-capacity when in reality it isn't.

100% right. Closing.
