Contact UsDue to wire size & cost and potential fire hazard it is better to keep your inverter within 5 feet of your battery bank. Another area to be concerned it having more than 2 strings of batteries wired in parallel. It is hard to get a balanced charge and discharge equally across all of the batteries which results in one or more getting over worked.
When considering the solar panel inverter distance, one of the first things to remember is how far your inverter and battery are from the main electrical panel. For example, placing your inverter and battery in a guest house 100 feet away from the main panel can affect your system's performance. Voltage Drop and Efficiency
The distance between the battery bank and the inverter (in feet). The ambient temperature of the room in which the wire will be located. The wire size provided by the calculator will ensure a maximum voltage drop equal to or less than 3% (minimal power losses) even if the temperature of the wire goes up to 194°F (90°C).
Generally, 20-30 feet is the ideal distance between a solar panel, such as an array, and the solar battery backup supply. The longer the wire from the solar panel to the battery, the more energy lost in transport. The amount of energy lost also depends upon the gauge or thickness of the wire. Thicker wires lose less energy.
I'd recommend keeping the batteries close the the inverter. Your costs would be astronomical for appropriately sized DC lines of that length. Efficiency would also suffer. Just have two separately located battery banks if you require battery support for both inverters. Yep 150', but you'll need cable as thick as your forearm lol
In conclusion, managing your solar panel inverter distance by storing the inverter and battery in a guest house and running the lines to the main panel over 100 feet is practical. This is true, provided the system is designed correctly.
