    Splitting hairs, I know but, using the 3000EHV-48 and (3) 43.5 Voc ?

    Minimum PV voltage is 120VDC, should work but another panel may be wise.

    Solar panels distance from house question.

    1 conductor per phase utilizing a 4 AWG copper conductor installed Cable, Conduit (non-Steel), & Direct Burial will limit the voltage drop to 1.95% or less when supplying 24 amps for 130 feet on a 85 volt single phase system.

    My cabin aspirations

    Since it is a 24 volt inverter 2 (12 volt) batteries would be hooked up in series. Would need more info on panels to see if 4 in series is appropriate (like your picture).

    24 volt 3000/6000 watt

    Open circuit voltage of solar panel array must be at least 40+ volts if you plan to charge a 24 volt battery with it. You have not provided the specifications of your "2 used 250w 24volt panels". 2 AWG will handle around 94 Amps, while 2/0 AWG will handle around 190 Amps. No. It can handle...

    Hybrid inverter locked up and showing strange error code

    Old error. Any way to update software? Have you powered down completely, solar, battery, AC and restart? Factory reset. Could be shorted battery cell, timed out on charging cycle.

    Connecting solar panels

    If I am reading your photos correctly: Maximum inverter voltage (Voc)= 105 VDC and panels Voc =21.6 VDC 2S & 2P should be fine.
