What was more expensive at 24 volt? Just curious, not trying to undermine your decision.
"Everything" being 12v is where I'd get stuck too.
its tough remembering it all now, but from what i remember - in order to charge my battery bank from my alternator(motorhome) would have cost thousands of dollars, which is clearly insane. i dont have a generator or room for one, so charging from my alternator was a 100% must. then, i had very little room on my roof for 24v panels which tend to be larger. also, i already owned 950w of brand new 12v panels that were already set up and working great(goal zero yeti 1400).
i was stupid when i bought the goal zero and 12v panels, long story short i didnt have a ton of time to choose and there was no way i was building a full system in the time i had.
the lights, fans, switches, everything i bought is 12v and sadly i bought it all and installed before the solar system. unless i wanted to pull parts off the VERY recently finished camper and then spend more money, i was going with 12v.
another big reason was AM Solar is much more familiar with 12v systems, and could provide support. sadly, there support hasnt helped much but they have been trying.
