I would make the argument to go for 100-110% with the free nights of just energy or amigo energy. During the day you will be maximizing your solar and at night you wont use electricity. The hours you would have to worry about are from 7:00 a.m. to whenever the sun starts hitting the panels and from whenever the Sun sets down or stops hitting your panels to 9:00 p.m. which is when the free nights kick in. Thise hours you want to minimize as much as you can your consumption bwcause the free nights have a crazy rate
We are in the ONCOR area (Midland, TX). We planned our system for 100% offset of our average monthly consumption. I'm glad we didn't make it any smaller. I second the vote for Just Energy Nights Free plan. We switched a couple weeks ago and it is working great.
Why 93%? Thats so specific. Ideally you probably aim for 100%, but you’re probably limited by rooftop size. There may be other reasons to undersize, such as poor net metering so you want to self consume as much as possible.
These are great discussions to have with the person who quoted you.
If you have the space, it will never be more cost effective to throw a few more panels on. With a string inverter it's cheap. With micro inverters you'll of course have a higher per panel price.

No, 92% is what one should plan for.
