I've been gifted the below fairy lights, which rectifies AC240v to a DC36v coaxial power connector.

However, I live on a narrowboat and so currently only have a 220ah bank of 12v batteries.
I'm renovating the boat, and so what would be an ideal solution for providing multiple DC voltages?
My immediate thought is that whilst an inverter is ideal for satisfying power requirements of utility and consumer devices, it is unnecessarily inefficient for this kind of scenario.
The engine has a bracket for a second alternator and so I could introduce 24v DC. I'm also planning to install solar panels. Does anyone have experience/recommendations for implementing a multiple DC voltage (12v/24v) solar controller?
Many thanks
