12v MPPT and 24v MPPT vs 24v PWM Test
Got a chance to try out comparing amps to the battery using MPPT vs PWM on a 24v battery bank and comparing those with the usual MPPT on 12v with my 230w panel. The bank is four 6s, so it was easy ...

You guys rock! You have got me thinking :).
Running my house stuff off the 24v I currently have is not practical, because it's in equipment I need to use for work. I need it to be fully charged when I get up in the morning.
But I could switch solar stuff around... or just have a 24v house system. I can charge my phone off the inverter.
Probably not my computer, though. (I think my current MSW 12v inverter did something bad to my 'puter charger, which a week later caused it to kill two computer batteries. Either that or it's all a massive coincidence.) I could charge the computer off one battery at a time and alternate days (or if one is a bit igher SOC for some reason).
