One of the most important things to consider is the voltage between plates. You need a minimal of 1.5v per plate, but you will not get a lot of production. It seems somewhere between 2 - 2.5v per plate is the sweet spot for higher production without having to worry too much about temperature and or steam.
If you are going to do 24 plates at 48v (2v per plate) I would say a 6x6 would handle 40amp (around 10lpm), an 8x8 would handle 80amp (around 20lpm), and a 12x12 would handle 200amp (around 50lpm). That is using a conservative 5MMW efficiency.
