Solar wasted watts/volts
I am curious what happens to the watts /volts when your system is fully charged and you have no demand? Were does the extra power go?

Hopefully good things won't get wasted.
I didn't notice any mention of controller, only that it will be MPPT. There is no such thing as "too much solar", your main concern should be the controller size.
Solar planning steps: 1. estimate or measure your daily consumption -> 2. estimate how much panel wattage you need -> 3. choose controller size suitable for a given array.
On the step 2 you might want to add 30-50% if possible. 24V panels are same size 65" by 40", be it 200W or 260W. Panels are cheap, and the price difference btw 30A and 40A MPPT like Tracer EP is insignificant.
