I am getting close to pulling the trigger on some 12v batteries for a new 600 sq ft totally off grid cabin I am building. I was working towards a 24v setup by purchasing the MPP Solar 24v charger/inverter with a 24v to 12v stepdown for my shed with lights and a Mini Cosco refridgerator. Works fine.
Previous questions here have me leaning towards running everything on 120v AC/DC. mostly lights, fridge and toaster oven, etc. Can anyone give me some viewpoints on why I should stick with the 24v design other than I already have the inverter.
I have a couple 170 Ah 12v Big Battery Owls that I didnt realize couldnt be wired in series. I would like to use my battery bank to run a 220v well pump to a storage tank but haven't done the draw tests on it yet. There would also need to be another pump to pressurize the house plumbing.
Thanks.
