You'll be happy with the overpaneling whenever it's cloudy. My system currently runs flat out at 6 kW on a sunny day, but here in WA it's cloudy more often than not. I am planning to put another PV array out in front of the existing one but oriented almost flat to the ground, to collect scattered light from the cloud cover. The charge controllers will limit the current draw from the panels and thus the total max power will still be 6 kW, but I still expect a substantial increase in overall production. Not double, to be sure, but not insignificant, either.

The plan is to have electrician replace 200A main breaker+box with 200A combo mechanical interloc box, add subpanel + 30-40A breaker to charge PHEV at 240V on L6-30 outlet. Car needs 3.4kWh.Comment

My size is 11.4 38 panels @ 300watts Heliene 60M-HBLK http://www.heliene.ca/products/detai...,10,20,581,618
Heliene says these can generate up to 280 peak watts; 280 * 38 = 10640
I've communicated with the installer and they obviously agree it's clipping too much. Monday they are coming to install the SE10000 inverter. Looking forward to see how much more we can generate. Here is my SolarEnergy dashboard https://monitoring.solaredge.com/sol...50/#/dashboard

we got the SE10000H installed but today was a really unusual rain all day April Florida day; tomorrow looks to be the same at least I'm not watering the yard. they keep raising water rates around here; may have to splurge on a well for the lawn and get off city water.Comment
