When matching up the number of solar panels to your inverter, text book says put 25% more panels than the inverter or MPPT can produce in power. The people pushing this philosophy seem to worry more about the energy lost during clipping. Bah!! See these diagrams?
You know what's actually important? knowing damn well that your inverter is going to make a certain amount of energy each day, everyday.
I'm taking clipping to the extreme here so bear with me. An inveter with 25% more panels than it's rating makes power over the yellow area. It only makes peak power for 30 minutes around solar noon.
An inveter with 2x more panels that it's rating will make the orange area AND the yellow area.
let's say the sun is up for 8 hours.... an inverter "properly sized" will make varying amount of power thru the day and the total for the daywill be 70% of what it could have been.
Example: 6kw MPPT with 8kw of panels in 8 hours will make 33kwh in 8 hours on a perfect day. When it is overcast, it might make 16kwh.
On the other hand a 6kw MPPT with 12kw of panels will make 48kwh every day even when cloudy.
Which one would your wife like better? Not thinking about if the house will run or having to think before starting the dryer or oven?

Just a random array I found online. 66 panels, likely 18kw.

Photo 1... coconut mulch on top of dirt. The others are just dirt on top. Photo 4 is the plants that were eaten up with squash bugs last week. I found one adult today but no eggs under the leaves.
Each of these containers has a perforated 10ft piece of 4" drain pipe coiled up, 450lbs of sand, a layer of coconut mulch, and the soil you see. Only one has an additional covering of mulch.
This is why we do these controlled variable experiments.

Tonight... we had hamburgers from goat meat with tomatos we grew. Wife canned some pickles today, used some of the dill in sourcream to make a sauce... we had squash fritters... batter made with eggs from here.
I love it when a plan comes together.
