Also always charge batteries in series because of the scenario where one battery is done charging and the other continues to take the full current. Otherwise just have the correct solar panel for the voltage and max current charging rating of the battery.
This is a power system setup using solar cells. The solar cell act as a diode so there's no reverse flow of energy. The inverter acts as the resistor to not over discharge the batteries. But now that I think of it, if you had the solar panels at 24 volt output exactly, then the batteries would never over charge because the energy would stop flow at 24 volts. So that would actually be the "plug and play system" that wouldn't need supervision. And may never break. If I did foresee all the variables in this design.

I can't read the writing on the diagram. Is there a way of blowing it up?
You should be able to just click on the picture and it will open to a larger picture. But if that doesn't work then save the picture and open it in your own picture program and look at it enlarged there.
