HI Aaron,
You could stack multiple 24 Volt inverters to achieve more KW and there
are plenty of 24 V Lithium battery options. (like Signature Solar,
Simpliphi, Discover etc.)
If you do go for converting to 48 Volt then depending on how many amps
of 24V loads you have (how many is it?) - you might find this helpful:

We've had very good luck with Victron DC-DC converters - rock solid and
controllable by Victron Blue Tooth App. Not cheap.
Hope that helps,
Best,
Jeff C.

Wrenches,
I have a customer with a very old 24v off grid pv system. He wants to
upgrade his array, inverter and battery bank. There are no options
for inverter/chargers over 4000 watts in 24v dc. The same goes for
lithium iron batteries. Everything (of higher wattage and battery
capacity) seems to be in 48v only now. If going to 48 volts how do I
acomodate the few but important 24v DC loads in the home. Is a 48v to
24v step down converter the best option? What do you think? Any help
would be appreciated. Thank you.
