Single orientation.
I looked at multiple orientation, mostly based on your posts ? and even vertical panels in N/S orientation.
These configs seemed to make sense to maximize self consumption, but in the end I chose to maximize winter production as I have a heat pump.
This means a 60° tilt and straight south.
String inverters are pretty cheap.
With storage, catching all that solar production around noon makes a big difference, especially with bifacials and snow cover. Wire size is ridiculous because of code. 10AWG per string. 3 strings. This would be required whatever direction the panels face.

Is your array going to be a single orientation?
Two orientations, e.g. 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM would reduce peak output but increase hours of production (also does reduce total kWh somewhat). That would reduce IR drop in wire and battery charge rate. Should match consumption better and keep battery more full later in the day (if off-grid).
On-grid, it may be power is worth more certain hours of the day. Or, a maximum backfeed power/current allowed.
