Depending on the battery chemistry your 24V battery bank could need 28V-29V of charge voltage. If using an MPPT charge controller you typically need the panel voltage 2V-5V higher than that. So you might actually need a panel voltage in the low 30s. Look at the Vmp of the panels. If it''s less than about 35V then you would want 2 or more in

The only drawback on this method of charging, is that it can only be utilized when there are an even number of batteries (4, 6, 8, etc.). If each battery is connected to your charge controller through the same number of interconnecting leads, and the total length / gauge of these leads are the same, perfectly balanced charging can be achieved.

During the day if there is enough solar the battery voltage is held higher than the Multiplus so that stops charging. If it is a poor solar day the solar can not lift the battery voltage high enough so the Multiplus charges from shore power. The Multiplus keeps the batteries on float overnight so they tend to stay full.

Wire them in series to get 90Vmp, and then a MPPT controller will transform the high raw solar voltage to battery voltage, increasing the charging amps as it does that.
