House/solar battery opinions
My current battery space is 20"L x 14"w x 10"H Going solar, and want to packs as much AH in there as I can (reasonably). Currently looking at 250 - 300. Price is not THE deciding factor, unless ...

Hi seraphim,
36 volts has the advantage of thinner wire and lower line losses. With thick enough wire losses could be under 1%.
24 volts has the advantage of slightly more efficient mppt operation (1% maybe?).
If I had to choose between them I'd go 36 volts myself.

Is 36v 300 watts better than 24v 300 watts? I originally thought so, now I don't know.
I thought I understood the possibilities of higher voltage panels, now I feel confused again. Sounds like I'm getting different feedback from different people; sometimes from the same person lol.
