Jason,

We recently completed a ground-mount array ~350’ from the Envoy and all micros are able to report.

The branch circuits will have an AC combiner panel on a rack at the array with 2 parallel sets of 4/0 Al conductors back to the interconnection point at the house in a meter/main combo. I was planning to put a breaker in the meter/main combo for the IQ Envoy inside an adjacent enclosure. I'm wondering if I will be successful in picking up the microinverters 300 feet away.
