The issue at 12V is the current drain on the battery. It means you need
a much larger battery for a given wattage. Going to 24V will cut the
battery drain in half. It's an issue when you look at the hours at a
given power level (watts).

You might look at converting the 12v to 24v but I would guess that's
far less efficient cost wise.

I've never done solar and battery powered stuff before so maybe
I'm not thinking about this correctly

on 12 V batteries without problems. I can get a small solar panel
set up and test to see how long they will last but before I power
them from 12 V I want to make sure it's even possible for them to work
