I think the best way to do solar is to start small with a couple panels and the right charge controller, then add more as you go to see how much power fits your needs. This also gives you the opportunity to discover how willing you are to render other rooftop maintenance a serious headache like cleaning the coils on your AC units, clearing leaves, washing the paint, tightening screws, checking your spare tire, etc.
Apparently you haven't lived in Arizona with the 115 degree "dry" heat?
Also much better to design, plan, and purchase the right stuff up front rather than having to purchase everything again because the system you purchased won't expand.
