Right way to provide power to my equipment 1000' away from main panel

[derellcoates]

I am an Wireless Internet Provider and am trying to get power to a higher spot on a mountain that is 1000' from the main power panel. My load (power for all my equipment) will be aprox 700 watts for now and could grow to 1000-1100 watts in time. I'm an electronics technician, not an electrician but have some familiarity with running power.

After looking at a few different voltage drop calculators I'm thinking of running 2-2-4-6 from the main panel to my equipment location (240v to reduce loss). My question is at the equipment location can I install 2 duplex receptacles (1 on each phase) so I have 120v? According to the voltage drop calculator I should lose aprox 2.6% on the 240v run at 10Amps (2400 watts which I don't need). Does that mean I'll lose 2.6% on each phase if broken out to 120v service or will I lose more as if it's only a 120v run from the panel? Does running 2 phases help each phase have less voltage drop? I'm wondering if I need a step down transformer from 240v to 120v or what would be best to do. Thank you in advance for help provided.

The right way is to get an electrician to pull a permit and do the work. We are not allowed by forum rules to assist DIYers, as what else are you not asking.
