I have an LVX 6048 for an off-grid cabin. It says it can take voltages from 120-450v. I have to put the array over 100 feet from the cabin so planned to put 14-250W panels in series (2 arrays of 14) outputting a maximum 424.2V and 16.57A from a combiner box near the array. I bought Temco 8AWG solar cable rated at 600 Volts to run from the combiner to the LVX6048. I was told that by going over 250V, I may run into problems because it would be considered commercial and need different inspections? I am in rural Montana, so I doubt it will ever be an issue, but If I sold the place later, an inspection may raise the issue.
There is only one Solar input on the LVX6048.
Can I run 100 to 150 feet of solar cable at 450Volts 16.5 Amps? I will bury it...Do I need conduit?
I have enough 8AWG solar cable to make two runs from the array to the cabin. So I can configure 2 sets of 7S2P and run each pair separately to the cabin at 212V/16.5A each, but I would have to connect both to one input on the 6048.
Any alternate ideas, or issues that anyone sees?
Thank you.
