Hey guys, is anybody else putting all of their solar equipment in a shed near their home? I like the idea of having the batteries/inverters outside of the home in case of an incident, but the inverters will be atleast 100ft away from the breaker panel. I'm guessing they will be around 125ft. I'm interested in using 2 or even 3 of the new LVX6048WP when it comes out, I am also exploring Victron equipment and some others.
My concern is the wire run from the breaker panel to the inverters (to bypass power from the grid, through the inverters), and the run from the inverters to the critical loads panel, which will be in the same location as the main panel. This plan is still very shifty and ever-changing until I get closer, but I plan on somewhere between 12kw and 20kw of total output, and thats an awful lot of amperage over 125ft.
Anybody have any cool ideas or tricks for something like this? Or am I over thinking it, and should be just mounting the equipment in the garage (where the breaker panels are) on some hardie board?
