<p>Aaron,</p>
<p> It would be helpful to know how many amps are
required to power the 24 volt loads and should we assume the
batteries are toast or nearly so? The brand of inverter?</p>
<p> As Jeff said there are 24V L-ion choices.<br>

<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. Thank you.<br>
