While they're more expensive, microinverters help a lot with having a more flexible install plan a few panels at a time because you just buy one inverter per panel. Also helpful if you have shading issues where a little bit of shade won't ruin a whole string of power generation.
Especially if you're not trying to achieve an off-grid/backup solution, microinverters keep your install and additions simple.
Also, when you start small you don't need or have any use for a battery. Produce less than you consume or be happy with a little bit of waste and you don't need the complexity of a battery.
There are plenty of well planned paths towards a slow accumulation of pieces and features.
