Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, 106 ah daily. I've put in LEDs so should be a little less.
I've been accused of speaking encrypted. By less amps coming down I meant from the panels on the roof to the controller down in the storage compartment behind the batteries. 250 watts @ 12 volts is a lot more amps than 250 watts at 24 volts. And the IsquaredR power lost in heating up the wire will be 1/4 with 24 volt panels. Yes from the controller to the batteries would be the same.
Hmmm... free power. I was mostly thinking getting the batteries fully charged. I spend $3/day on gasoline, $3/day on propane. Getting that second 250 watts on the roof will be hard.
