[RE-wrenches] Maximum array-to-inverter Run?

[Gary Willett]

TOM:

I've not worked on a project with an array-to-inverter cable run of that 
length. I am assuming the wiring will be underground.

I would consider using DC surge arrestors on both ends of the PV Output 
Circuit(s).

Also, make sure you have a good grounding scheme for the array.

Regards,
