To be fair - if you have a quote for new heat pump or electric car - you can get them to increase size - based on predicted usage - and then you have to document with them that you got the new heatpump, new electric appliance or new electric car within one year - but ... I didn't get a heat pump until a couple years later.

Solar was installed in 2018 - and i got a heat pump in 2020.

We pushed back and added panels to our quoted system for this reason. Solpower was fine doing this since we were willing to pay for it. Granted this was seven years ago and maybe the state rules have changed but ask your installer?

We were never told there was any limit - there’s what they recommend in terms of size. But it wasn’t framed in terms of a state rule and clearly we were able to go past that so it’s interesting your installer framed it that way.
