<div dir="auto">Howie<div dir="auto">Understand but the reality is that inverter is going to fail and then it may be to late to make an upgrade and it will be more costly. You might want to consider Deka Unigyll that can be bussed in 24 volts and changed to 48 volts later. No it's not LI but it's a good solution. </div><div dir="auto">Jerry</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 26, 2019, 2:18 PM Howie Michaelson <<a href="mailto:Howie.Michaelson@gmail.com">Howie.Michaelson@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I get what you are saying Jerry, but this client ( a retiring teacher in a very rural, low wage school district, sadly) has lived very lightly off-grid (1kW solar, 24v Rolls KS21s original batteries) for 18 years years and has no pressing need to upgrade his VFX3524 inverter. I'd rather find a good 24volt option to compare a straight KS21 replacement to.
