The Morningstar MPPT 60 is 60A and 150V.
24V allows the CC to handle 2x the panel wattage and hence 2x the watts to the battery. But the panels must be double to provide the wattage. Or 4x for 48V.
There are only a few posters that have gone to 24V or 48V systems. Generally that will mean a 24V inverter and a DC to DC converter like a Vicron. The additional costs will add up.
Consider framed panels placed over the vents with enough clearance to open the vents. Less cost and more watts. Installed correctly wind will not be a issue.
Rarely can any A/C be run off of solar except for a small unit for a short period of time. An 8A A/C will draw 88A from 12V batteries. A/Cs just use to much power. Refer and HW are generally switched to propane. LED lights etc.
