I was under the impression being it was 350 volts of dc it may have a little less drop . It would be less of a voltage drop to the house than 240 volts ac . But also seem to remember tesla and edison ac being more efficient to transfer . I figured i would throw that out by someone who is smarter than i am.. Am going to use 8 guage wire from the shop to the house though . Measured today . From the shop where i was going to mount inverter on shop is 112ft. give or take a couple inches for disconnect box.
