Other than stepdown transformers which have the same dang issue as the 110v
inverter.
I've been debating going 24v with our system, bigger panels are almost all 24v
and much cheaper per-watt than the 12v panels we use. In the end I've decided
that our best course is to stay 12v. This spring we'll add 1 more 100w panel
bringing us to a total of 4 and replace our current cobbled together 180ah
battery array (2x 35ah 1x110ah) with 2x 110ah batteries for 220ah capacity. I
think the mix of little and big, new and old in the current system is costing
us usable capacity.
My goal is to have the solar array be 2x storage capacity and storage capacity
to be good for 3 days of use with zero input. We're pretty much there now.
Oh and I need to buy a new roof rake, last November we had 6" of snow on the
panels, they don't produce good with that on them. We do have a roof rake but
it doesn't have the little plastic guides that keep you from scratching the
roof (or the panels) and the handle isn't long enough...

Sadly, there don't seem to be many 48V options.
