I have a Statpower Prowatt 800 which converts 24VDC to 120VAC. I would like to make the unit conversion 12VDC to 120VAC. I believe Statpower makes both units. On the circuit board inside the unit there are (4) 15A fuses. The label on the board says "12V input use 30A fuse" and "24V input use 15A fuse". What do I need to do other than switch these fuses? Thanks!

You need to replace all the parts in the low voltage section with parts that can survive the doubling of the current.
Probably the transformer must be replaced so it can work from 12V.
You need to re-design the circuit to work from 12V instead of 24V.
