In each group of two panels connect the negative of one panel to the positive of the other.
Do 24 volt solar panels charge better than 12 volt.
Most string inverters have an operational voltage window between 300 and 500 volts.
Just pair the solar panels in groups of two.
Consider a 12v 60 ampere hour battery.
This is called wiring your solar modules in series.
No it is not possible to charge a 12 volt battery with a 24 volt solar panel.
Thus a 12 volt battery should be charged with a 12 volt solar panel only.
The amount of energy in the batteries is amps x hours x volts.
Advantages of a 24v over a 12v system earthship biotecture.
There are a number advantages in opting for a higher dc supply voltage.
This would mean that when designing a system you could have between 8 and 12 panels in a series.
The reduction in wire size cuts down the costs as the thicker the wire the more costly it is.

Very good question if your looking at off grid that would be charging a battery bank and using a inverter to go from ac to dc for your home you can use any volts for charging a battery bank like.
You can get much bigger inverters on 24v or 48v than 12v.
Using a 24 volt supply instead of a 12 volt supply greatly reduces the wiring cost to almost half the original cost.
It is clear from this that a 24v system is always better than a 12v system provided you can physically fit two batteries.
You can get much bigger inverters on 24v or 48v than 12v.
Yes you can charge a 24 volt battery bank with 12 volt panels.
This will result in a dangerous overcharging situation thus resulting in explosion and permanant damage to the battery.
This is so because increasing the voltage of a system causes a reduction in the current through it and in turn reduces the size of the wires you need.
Then the unused positive from one module and the unused negative will be 24 volt.
