I would agree. Basically everything will work around the inverter, all the other pieces can mix and match, upgrade, but if you have a quality inverter it is key. I definitely stay away from 12 volt systems, 24 and 48 are better. My first was a 12 which I eventually upgraded to 24, but that involved the expense of a new inverter. Simply rewired the panels, and batteries, changed the charge controller settings. My current house system is 48v, last year I added panels, but because I had planned on future expansion it was a simple matter of wiring into to existing charge controllers. For the cost os panels, racking, and a little wire I increased my capability by 1/3 - very happy.
