I don't know why you think this. There is no reason one can't keep adding batteries to a 24 volt system, same as a 48 volt system. I have 800ah of 24 volt batteries and have no reservations adding more if I need to.

4 of these will be around $2000 with the 5% discount, plus tax. On sale because they changed their name from AmpereTime to LiTime. They make other sizes, but these are the cheapest at 24 volt. https://www.litime.com/products/ampere-time-24v-100ah-2560wh-lithium-lifepo4-battery-built-in-100a-bms

I haven't had any issues with Signature Solar, but The EG4 brand/product line is too new for me to trust it yet.

I'm happy with 24 volts. It does all we need - running a full size refrigerator full time and has enough spare capacity to run a space heater or window air conditioner.

Build a pergola?

Downside to pairing cells is you cannot monitor individual cells when you pair them together, if that matters to you. For redundancy I would build 8s batteries and a BMS for each. When you parallel batteries, physics determines how each battery charges. If you have 4 equal batteries they...
