I am out of country at the moment, but I think Morningstar has a 600 V controller that’s pretty good sized I can’t give you much spec on it, but you could do the DC run at up to 600 V

 Pretty cold up there in Montana! Maybe only 10 or 11 in series depending on the module?

The crazy things folks do.  Dear people:  We have a fellow who has an initial off-grid array with a Radian 8048A (and related e-panel, etc.) and six 410W Canadian solar modules.  He has six more of the same modules…but the ideal site for solar is 900 feet away from his batteries and the rest of the system.  Yeah, good planning, right?

In terms of getting AC power out of his ‘new’ 6X array, Enphase won’t work since he doesn’t have an Enphase system.  We’re looking at perhaps SMA or Chilcon (so the size of the wire run won’t be so astronomical).  Any suggestions?

Best,
