Ground mount system - extending distance

My controller is 80A and will take up to 2000w of panels with max 145voc would 10 ga. Wire be ok if the panels are 200’ away?
Wow. You are replying to a comment I made almost 3 months ago, so I didn't even recognize what I wrote. You would do better to post your question - with a lot more info about what you have and what you are attempting - than to add on to this thread that is clearly not related to your install.

At the very least, we would need to know more about your panels. 145V Voc is useful, but we also need to know:
  1. The panels Vmp and Imp
  2. How many panels
  3. What Solar Charge Controller you are using (or what the maximum voltage input is)
200' feet is about what I used in my cabin install, but I ended up with 6AWG wire for my 1700W array, based on the math. Your needs will depend on your answers to the above questions.
