But I'm a bit worried about what will happen now, with the new 2000W Inverter.

I found that 6 GCs was a sweet spot for charging vs usage for that size inverter.

Not exactly what I wanted to hear.:(

EDIT: Especially as 6 GC2s won't work with 24V. Need either 4 or 8 or change the voltage to 36V or back to 12V. Nope.

Oh well, this whole thing is a learning experience. It will be interesting to see how it works out for us with our usage patterns.

Since upgrading to 700W solar, 440Ah battery and 1000W inverter, the lowest est. SOC has been about 70%.

With the 24V system and 2000W inverter, we'll get more peak solar, but will have also doubled the potential peak loads with the big inverter. So there could be more Peukert's, battery heating and conversion inefficiencies as well.

We'll see, but I do expect to see 50% SOC more often.
EDIT: And after reading another discussion, that's prolly not going to be a problem. Think I've been way too conservative in working these batts.

And maybe with next years tax rebate, a 300W portable solar system might be possible.:)
