24V panels on a 12V system
I have access to several 24volt panels and would like to install them on my MH. The question is do they make a controller that will accept 24v and send out 12v to charge the battery's.

I haven't tried it, but AFAIK, the 12/24 PWM can be put on 12v batts and have a 24v array. It just won't do more than that array's Isc, which is about half what a 12v panel's Isc/watt would be. Wrong??
Yes, you can connect it, but this would be a wrong thing to do :)...
It will provide 12V output, yes, but because the current of 24V array is twice lower than of 12V array, you will lose half the power.
