<div dir="auto">Hi Aaron,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">You can do DC to DC buck converters, but I would suggest cheap and efficient 24V, AC power supplies. It's easy to have some spares around and they can be very reliable. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 26, 2022, 5:16 PM Aaron Mandelkorn <<a href="mailto:reosolar@gmail.com">reosolar@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="auto">Wrenches,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have a customer with a very old 24v off grid pv system. He wants to upgrade his array, inverter and battery bank. There are no options for inverter/chargers over 4000 watts in 24v dc. The same goes for lithium iron batteries. Everything (of higher wattage and battery capacity) seems to be in 48v only now. If going to 48 volts how do I acomodate the few but important 24v DC loads in the home. Is a 48v to 24v step down converter the best option? What do you think? Any help would be appreciated.
