Actually I just looked up the current requirements and that would not work!
I have found a site (www.solarseller.com) that carries the Solar
Converters, inc line of converters.
(model cv 12/24 - 50r24 looks to be what your need but check with them) it
appears to cost around $175.00 I don't know how cost effective that is!
Just a possibility

If you take a ceap 12v to 110 ac power inverter from Radio Shack and tack
a 24-30 volt bell transformer with a rectifier and filter on the output
you could make your own 12v to 24 volt dc converter for about $20-$30
dollars. Ask Jim Weir if he can come up with a project ;-)

Keep watching Ebay, I picked up a 12 and a 24 as a package for $18,
new old stock.
