[RE-wrenches] 24v to 48v upgrade help

[Nick A Lucchese]

Greetings Aaron,

The Iota DLS AC to DC converters work well too. You would also gain programmable low voltage protection for the DC loads since the converter lives on the AC output of the inverter. They still make 15, 25 amp 40 amp options I believe. I’ve had one running my 24vdc Sunpump booster for years.

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.
