    Can I get power with what I have

    I have 2 - 24 volt solar panels, 2 - 12 volt solar panels, 1 - 2000 12 volt inverter, 1 - 1000 12 volt inverter, 2 - 12 volt solar batteries, 2 - 12 volt car batteries 1 - 24 volt charge controller, and 1 - 12/24 volt charge controller. How can I set it up to generate power for my place or do I need something else?

    Sounds like you have the parts for two systems but you need to provide a little more information.

    Provide the technical details of your solar panels like; Vmp, Imp & wattage. Also need to know the AH rating of your batteries and the Amp rating of your charge controllers and if they are PWM or MPPT type.

    The next area is what do you want to run off these systems and for how long. Understanding what you "watt hour" need is will help determine if you have the correct hardware to do the job. Also knowing where you live will help determine the number of "useful" sun light hours that can be used to charge your batteries. Too often people go out and purchase panels, batteries, inverters and such before they know what they really need. It can be expensive to find out you have spent a lot of money and can only light up a few light bulbs and run a computer and then need to go out a buy the correct hardware.

      As SunEagle mentioned, you need to provide more info about your equipment.

      But it seems, you have stuff for two power systems, you need to provide more on your load requirements as that will help in understanding the load/supply relation to figure out more.
