hybrid grid tie [RE-wrenches]

[Keith Cronin]

Hello Wrenches

Here is a situation I need help with. I have a client who wants grid tie
and battery back up. The location for the array will be on a garage
approximately 260 feet away. It will be 20- 160 watt modules. The
inverters/batteries/control center will be in the main house basement.
Is it appropriate, due to the huge voltage drop and cost of 4/0 wire, to
install a sunnyboy 2500 at the garage, and feed the output of the
Outback stacked inverter system? I think I could avoid buying a charge
controller and save some dough, and also save $ on the wire run. It will
accomplish the goal of battery backup, which the client desires. Will
this work? Anyone tired or thought of this application?

Thanks
