I'll be very interested in the responses because with my rudimentary understanding of
electronics it would be unbelievably wasteful because of losses on conversion to 24 and inverter losses. How do you charge your batteries?

18 Jan 2023 — 12 volt inverters have the least effeciency of any inverter which is usually <88% whereas
quality 24 volt inverters are 95% or so and quality 48 volt inverters
