Hi Cath
I quite like the second option also. It’s very common to “oversize” the inverter like this. See here:

SolarEdge is a great inverter, Q Cells Q Peak Duo G6+ is a really good panel, and that’s a pretty good price. Seems like a winner. Who is the solar company, do they get good reviews?
Cheers
