Wayne,
First, let's hope you mean 12 of the 2YS31. A single battery string is always
preferable to multiple strings in my book. The only downside is interconnect
cables the same size as your inverter cables. That probably means 4/0 CU for
most 24V, 3KW and up inverters. Two strings in parallel-not too bad. Three
strings- as far as you want to push it. More strings- Don't go there.

or
B) 9 - Rolls 8-CS-25P 820 AH @ 20 HR (3 strings of 3)
Thank you in advance for your input!
