Mejunkhound, I think you should go for it, with some caveats. I would do the transport in AC. Otherwise you will need something like 4-6-awg cable at 200vdc to keep losses reasonable, all the way to 000 awg at 100vdc. I assume you're not interested in forking out that kind of coin for a pet project. Perhaps a small generator shed with the inverter right there?

Check out the link below for DC cable wire size.
