The large size of the array means that even an overcast day produces more than I usually need. The battery capacity only feels small when using the pool heat pump to warm up the hot tub, which drains one of the two 10 KWh batteries. The workaround is to preheat it during the day when there's excess solar and then only spend the energy to keep it warm.
I do plan to increase the battery array size eventually, but mostly so I have enough peak power to both cook and do laundry at the same time without needing to do so during the day to avoid pulling anything from the grid.
