We run a solar installation with a 12V/690Ah battery bank.
I plan to upgrade the capacity of this battery bank and would like to go to 24V simultaniously, but there are a number of small consumers running on 12V. Easy you think, just use a DC/DC converter, but ..
The location of this installation is in Scandinavia, so during winter there is very little yield from the solar modules. Actually just enough to power one router and one surveillance camera directly from the battery.
The Orion-Tr 24/12-9 or 24/12-20 would add a minimum of 30/80 Ah per month. This could be digested with the planned upgrade of the battery, but I'd rather add a second camera than spending the additional capacity just for being on 24V.
Has anybody got a creative (extra low power consumption) idea on how to solve this?
Or would tapping 12V directly from the battery be a solution?
Thanks your support is appreciated
