I think that an "excess" of solar is a good idea since there are a lot of days even in New Mexico (where we are currently) that are not the best for solar. We were still getting 100 W or so with 15 to 20 cm of snow on the panels. We have a lot of solar and a lot of LFP. Another advantage to LFP is no Peukert Disadvantage, so the charging rate is almost linear.
Some moderator on Solar Panel Talk was ranting that no one has enough battery storage to last 5 days without sun. I wrote that we had that capacity and so he wrote back that we obviously had more capacity than was required. He is a cranky lad and most snarky. He is also quite full of himself.
