Ideas needed for 12v systems if I do 24v
I want to do a 24 volt system so I can use the Magnum MSH4024M Hybrid inverter instead of the MSH3012M. The question is how to power the existing 12 volt stuff. 1) Use an MPPT solar controller to k...

When the generator is running you don't use the invertr.
The cool thing about that inverter (12 and 24v versions) is that it will parallel with the generator. You can tell the inverter that the AC supply can only handle 13 amps. If the inverter senses demand greater than 13 amps it will supply additional power from the batteries. If you're running the AC and drawing 12 amps and then turn on the microwave for 60 seconds drawing another 10 amps, the gen will supply 13 and the inverter the other 9.

rAlso remember if you areset up for 24 volts you will only have 1 battery rating of amps and if 12 2 batteries of rating. I.e. at 24 wthbatteries rated at 200 amps each you will have 200 amps. At 12 volts with same batteries you will hav 400 amps available.
24V*200A/H = 4800Watt/H
12V*400A/H = 4800Watt/H
So both battery configurations result in supporting the same load.
