    Question about Solar battery's ?

    I have a 24 volt system with 1200 watts. Now looking to add battery's. Start with a set of (8) Lithium 120 Ah,3.2V 3C and then add to that. $ 1424 per set then X 2 = $2848 Or, just go to (8) of 240 Ah 3.2V 3C ? $2900 per set. Is it better to have the lower Ah's ? Thanks,Randy
