[RE-wrenches] DC-DC converter for Sun Frost

[Wind-sun.com]

Depending on the condition of the SunFrost, it might be worth looking at replacing it with one of the new off the shelf Energy Star rated standard refrigerators, such as Whirlpool or other that runs directly from standard AC.

  Wrenches,

  Simple question, I know: what has worked well as a 24V - 12V DC-DC step-down converter for a Sun Frost? I am doing a design to completely rebuild/replace an early-90s off-grid 12V system with a new system at 24V. The only DC load is a Sun Frost. I think it's an RF16, so dual-compressor. I know of at least three converters: Solar Converters; BZ Products; ICT; and I'm sure there are many more. What has worked well, with minimal ghost load? 

   

  Thank you,
