Find yourself a dead 2 battery UPS (battery backup for computers). There's your 24v inverter! Should be dirt cheap as replacement batteries for UPSs cost more than replacing them. Functional UPSs with dead batteries are all over the surplus market. You may need to disable a buzzer, as some UPSs have an alarm to indicate they're running off batteries.
