I am currently running a remote video camera using a Sony SNCRZ-30N Camera and a wireless bridge. I have a 12 volt solar system (two 12/24V panels and one 12V battery)which I am running into a 600 Watt 110V inverter to power the camera and bridge. Each of these devices are using transformers. The camera transformer uses 110VAC in and 24VAC out to the camera. The bridge uses 110VAC in and 24VDC out. I would like to either use my panels at 24V and get a second 12V battery and bypass the transformers completely or keep it at a 12V system with my existing panel and battery and only convert to 24 volts rather then the 110 volts. From other posts I've read, it appears I should stick with the 110V inverter. Other then cost, I'm having a hard time understanding this. It seems that my power consumption would be less if I only step up to 24V. And as for the step up, keeping in mind that I need to provide both 24VDC and 24VAC, does anyone know of a device that will do this from 12VDC?
