The seven-day product carries no bounds, so no band is shown.
AESO publishes a twelve-hour solar forecast in ten-minute steps and a separate seven-day hourly forecast. This page plots the seven-day product; the Radar's renewables desk uses the twelve-hour one. The two are never joined into one line.
The seven-day product is one most-likely value per hour. AESO's minimum and maximum bounds come only with the twelve-hour product, so this page draws no band.
