It's not real difficult to set up a small system. For starters, you need a breaker between the panels and the battery bank, then a breaker between the battery and your load.
Your load is the panel/fuse box, and it should have a breaker or fuse for every circuit. That's about it.
I've kept mine real simple by going with 12 volt rather than 24 or 48 volts. This requires a larger charge controller, so in most cases it's not advised. You should probably go with 24 volts.
I think water pumps are available in 24 volts, so no stepdown would be required.
