Hi,
Consider this hypothetical situation: When designing a photovoltaic system, let's say that the main electrical panel is far away from the array ( ~200 ft away). Would it make more sense to place a single inverter near the far away main electrical panel, or closer to the array itself? I'm guessing it comes down to whether we want a DC voltage drop or an AC voltage drop. Are there advantages/disadvantages to each configuration?
Regards,
Andy
