The other thing I'm figuring out is the stark difference between my PV 23kW DC and the inverters putting out 15.2kW AC.
It is common with grid-tied PV systems, indeed it's generally good practice, to install a PV array with a peak output rating higher than the AC output rating of a grid-tied PV inverter.
Most GT PV inverters will have a technical limit on this "over panelling" ratio. I'm not sure what that limit is for your specific inverter model is but it's typically in the 1.3 to 1.5 range.
Since 23 / 15.2 = 1.51 then I'd say you inverters are rated at the upper end of that range and the installers have maxed out that DC to AC ratio. There can also be some bureaucratic limitations on that ratio (e.g. like here in Australia STC credits are limited to systems with a max DC:AC ratio of 1.333), so for clarity I'm only talking about the technical limit set by the inverter manufacturer.
So if it's the middle of a nice sunny day and the PV arrays are
capable of generating, say, 23 kWh, then the inverters will cap their AC output to the 15.2 kW max they are capable of supporting. The panels are not actually producing 23 kW, they are only outputting the power the inverter is drawing from them. The inverter manages this process.
You might think that losing all that possible production capacity sounds pretty lousy, but consider that for the vast majority of the time the PV array will not be capable of generating at its peak power output, but rather at some fraction of that.
Earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon, when it's cloudy or raining, in the Winter half of the year when the sun is lower in the sky, if the PV arrays face multiple directions and are not all facing the Sun at the same time, and so on. In these scenarios the PV array will generate a lot more energy than a smaller array (and likely it will still be less than your inverter's capacity) and as a result the capacity utilisation of the inverters will be much higher. They will operate at a higher output, for longer.
Ideally you will have your PV arrays facing different azimuths (perhaps even at different tilt angles), e.g. some East, some West, some South (assuming you are northern hemisphere). This will provide a nice wide, flat solar PV production curve better suited to the over panelling ratio you have. But generally we are limited by the roof we have to work with. Sometimes there is choice on which section of roof to use.
So, sure, in Summer your system might clip production during the hours either side of solar noon, but at other times of day and year and when the cloud is hiding the sun you will be very grateful to have the extra PV capacity to capture those far more scarce photons and keep your batteries charged to power you through the night.
