12 volt lights on a 24 volt system?
If I upgrade my 500 watt solar system to 1 kw, I will need to either upgrade my solar charger or convert it to 24 volt. I'd much rather do the latter. If I do so, will the 12 volt lights in the trai...

I learned some rather sharp and abrupt lessons when I started working on paralleled Trace 5548 systems.
