An alternative to this would be to install a 24 volt system but incorporate a charge controller that reduces the voltage to 12 volts whenever necessary. Yes the 24 volt solar panels can charge and maintain all of the 12v batteries but you should have the solar controllers between the solar panels and the batteries. Price of a 24v solar panel can vary in between rs. 12 volt used to be a standard for extra low voltage power systems.

If your existing electrical system is 12v like in an rv which already wired and equipped with 12v appliances then you should stick with a 12v solar system. Today most systems are 24v or 48v and include a 230v ac inverter. Have both systems installed if your appliances run on 24 volt systems as well.
