Just today I replaced 2000 pounds of 18 year old HUPs with 1800 pounds of... HUPs. It\u2019s a full rebuild of a 24v system from the mid-80s, and the scales on a system that vintage couldn\u2019t justify a 48v system. </div><div dir="ltr">I have asked Blue Planet more than once if they plan to one day develop a 24v Blue Zion package, and the answer has each time been no. So I\u2019d like to hear if there\u2019s a 24V option of equal quality and BMS sophistication. </div><div dir="ltr">Thanks!</div><div dir="ltr">Allan Sindelar <br>On Sep 26, 2019, at 3:17 PM, Howie Michaelson <<a href="mailto:Howie.Michaelson@gmail.com">Howie.Michaelson@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><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.
