Ive stuck with 24 volt systems for quite a number of reasons,
1) Im super energy effecient with only device I would need 48 volts maybe...(deep well pump)
2) code.... 48 volts must be in conduit, batteries must be in steel box, all wiring must be in conduit
.........24 volt does not need to be in conduit.....largely does not to be code on the DC side
3) refrigeration 12/24 volt DC refrigerators are common, 48 volt DC refrigeration is non existent
4) energy use......I do not need my 4kw. inverter for anything household except the vacuum and the deep well
.........I do quite well on a 1500 watt inverter I have a very good stereo music system which will rip your ears off on only a few hundred watts....Carver 100 watts/channel runs just fine on Exeltech XP-1100 inverter (which has the least EMI/RFI of any inverter)......yes EMI/RFI is pollution also has the highest MTBF of any inverter (Mean Time Between Failure)
5) environment......We are trashing the planet at an alarming rate
6) born in the backwoods of Alaska, learned very early how to survive on very little, with the way s##t is going to hell in a hand-basket we all may be in need of downsizing a bunch...
