Mean-Well DC DC converters work well.
You'll find you need a handful of them. Probably some 5 volt loads. And
12 volt loads. And maybe a 19 volt.
The Mean-Well SD series will adjust slightly out of their rated range.
So if the specs state it will adjust down to 19 volts, you can probably
get to 18.
You will, of course, also need a LVD for your DC loads.
150 watts sounds like an awful lot. My off grid house with fridge, all
the wall warts for various devices, TV, Amazon FireTV box, two or three
ethernet switches, DSL modem, router, wireless access point, inverter
idle current, all kinds of monitoring boxes, web cam, GFI and AFCI
outlets, water softener, microwave, cordless phones, USB outlets, VOIP
gateway, etc etc ... was about 150 watts. Maybe you can get them to turn
off all of the non-essential loads.

Hello Wrenches,
I have a client that is running into an issue with his off grid system.
The system is 3yrs old and they are starting to notice their AGM battery
bank is loosing capacity, in reality they are noticing the generator is
triggering more often. They want to try to lower the frequency of the
generator triggering if possible.
