Hey Jay The voltage drop/wire size problems that would be encountered 
pose a cost problem even @220 vts.Another thing that having a 
fuse/breaker box at the pole is that if batteries were shut off ,when 
the inverter was reconnected  the charge rate would be 30 amps 
ac(default setting). Unless you had a 250 awg @ 110vts and breaker  to 
anticipate this  then it would trip the breaker at the pole unbeknown to 
the customer.The "AC 1" light would blink the customer might think that 
they are still getting a grid charge and possibly have the system shut 
down due to low batt voltage. Seen this situation happen w/ undersized 
generators and poorly educated customers.Where you are its a long trip 
to reset the parameters.Good $$$ long ride!
