    You don't "have" to buy any!

    It all depends on use, if your have no loads don't add batteries to your system...

    ...and with out knowing loads and how they'll be used, this is the best answer I can give.
    Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites,  Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
    - Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.

    We'd really need to know the specifications of the batteries (Volts & "20 hour" Amp/hour rating) to give any sort of answer as to how much panel and what charge controller is needed to recharge them.

    A 5000 Watt 24 Volt inverter sounds like a not-top-quality MSW unit.
