A 12 volt panel has maximum power at around 17 volts so will need a minimum of 2 in series in a 24 volt system. There is no technical disadvantage but larger domestic sized 24 volt panels are cost effective.

A 24V to 220V inverter circuit diagram allows you to use a 24V DC power source to produce a steady stream of 220V AC power. To build your own system, you'll need some basic components, such as a transformer, a rectifier, and a filter capacitor.

A 24 volt solar system uses multiple solar panels wired in series to produce a higher DC voltage output around 24V. This 24V DC electricity is stored in batteries and converted by inverters to power 24V appliances and equipment.
