    12V to 24V boost converter

    I have a 24v solar power system.
    Someone gave me a 12v 123watt solar panel.

    I have read that I could use a 12V to 24V boost converter and connect it to a charge controller and to my 24v lead acid batterys.
    I would prefer not to have to buy another 12v solar panel to make 24v.

    Could anyone recommend a suitable 12V to 24V boost converter or give me any advice.

    Nonsense. It would be less expensive and a much better solution to buy another matching panel. A Converter is going to use significant power to convert. It will cost more than another panel will and by adding another power would give you about 250% more power than your idea.
