24VDC to 48VDC [RE-wrenches]

[John Blittersdorf, Cent. VT Solar & Wind]

Wrenches,
     Are there any products out there that will convert 24v to 48v 
efficiently and at an affordable price.  I  have a customer who wants a 
dependable, reasonably priced wind generator and the Bergey XL1 fits his 
price range but the XL1 comes only at 24v and his system is a 48v system (due 
to the distance from his array to the house.  With 20-20 hindsight, I would 
have bit the bullet and run a heavier cable to his array and kept it at 24v. 
(which I did on a later project and already have an order for a Bergey).   He 
has dual 4048's so changing the inverters is out of the question.  He has 
asked about an Air403 which is made in a 48v version but I don't want to sell 
him one as it won't produce enough power to waste the money on a lead in 
wire. Any suggestions?
