Hello,
I currently have a 12v setup that includes 4 100w panels, 3 105ah deep cycle marine batteries, a 30amp charge controller and a 1000w inverter.
It's set up close to my house to shorten the length needed for wiring and so I can have convenient access to switch the inverter on and off.
My issue is the panels are shaded for at least 25% of the day.
I have an open field about 100m away from my house, and I would love to move the array out there I realize this will create issues with voltage drop. As I understand it, it is better to run AC over distance than DC...so this means I would have to move my inverter with my array.
My question is would the remotes for the inverter and charge controller function over that distance? And if not..are there other solutions?
