Your profile shows Pakistan as your home. Is that where you want to build the system? Every country and local government has different rules. In most places you could buy the parts but not install them yourself because of insurance and permit reasons.

Even an off-grid system might require permits depending on how it is hooked up.

Adding a turbine to a grid tie system raises the cost and complexity a lot.

24v is way too low for grid-tie, unless it is an apartment you are supplying. Most grid-tie systems series connect panels until the voltage is at least 200 vdc, many almost 600 vdc.

You could buy microinverters like those sold by Enphase, that mount on each panel instead of buying one large inverter for the whole system. That costs more to build but allows you to scale the system easily to whatever size you want.
