Legend: “W” = solar panel wattage; “V” = system voltage.
12 V vs 24 V (quick guide): 12 V uses one 12 V battery, offers normal lift speeds, and slightly lower cost. 24 V uses two 12 V batteries in series, provides ~2× faster lift speeds, and costs slightly more. Always verify whether your motor/hydraulic system supports 24 V before choosing that option.
Plan for the worst-case: If you expect vacations/holidays or periods of heavier use, consider sizing up one tier for headroom.
