With home solar power, why do some choose 24v and others 12v systems?

I want a solar power system, but don’t know if I choose 12v or 24v and why.
It all depends, since you’re going to be spending top dollar for the panels anyways you should just go with the best. 24v would essentially be better in the long run because it can carry a heavier load, but if you’re trying to save a few bucks get the 12v which isn’t bad, but expect more limitations.

24 is better but 12 is cheaper.
