That is awesome. I live in the PNW (Oregon,45°N) and the summers here are fantastic for solar power. I have a 20.2kW system on my roof and crank out 100-120 kWh a day in the summer months. I can store 42kWh, and push the rest back to the grid at full cost return.

20kw on the roof is awesome! Do you have anything high load in your house or property or is it more just to sell back the excess to grid?
