What are you trying to achieve going to 24v?
My reason to jump to 48 volts would be for large wattage inverter use. 3000 watts is right on the edge of a cliff for a 12 volt dc input.
24 volts or (even better) 48 volts makes that much easier.
There is an excellent 48 volt dc air conditioner.
24 volts would save on the cost of the charge controller as many of them can do 24 volts--so they have twice the capacity at 24 than 12 volts.

Interesting, so the battery balancer is better than DC-2-DC converter?

Should I use 24v batteries in parallel connection or use 12v batteries series & parallel connections to construct the 24v system? does it make any difference at all either way?
All lithium batteries are identical and will be purchase same time.

Internally, a 24V battery is exactly the same thing as two 12V batteries in series.
If you're using a battery balancer to extract 12V from your 24V batteries, you need access to the 12V midpoint voltage of the two halves of the battery bank. If you aren't planning on using one of these, and haven't considered it, I would suggest taking a look; they're efficient and effective and get around some of the limitations of other ways of getting 12V power from the 24V supply. It is a moot point, of course, if you don't have any 12V stuff to power.
