Hello,
I'm looking for some advise. I am currently considering changing my 12 volt solar battery system to a 24 volt system to handle additional panels I’ve recently acquired. I started I currently have my 250Ah DIY batteries attached directly to my Giandel 2200 12-volt Inverter (PS-2200KSC), as the instructions recommend.
My question is, if I change my battery configuration to 24 volts, what is the best way to attach the 12 volt Inverter to my new 24 volt system? I understand that I could insert a DC to DC Buck Converter to drop the voltage from 24 volts to 12 volts before I attach it to the Inverter. I just don’t know if I should. If so, do I insert the Buck Converter directly in-line between the Batteries and the Inverter, or is there a better way to configure it? Or, is there a way that I can change my 12 volt Inverter into a 24 volt inverter? I want to be careful not to damage my Inverter or in any way reduce it’s effectiveness!
Thank you,
Kauai Jim
