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.
I see , had thought the Panels passed out a lower DC voltage like 20 or 24v and high amps but its not like that at all , thanks for pointing that out i stand corrected and gained some insight.

That puts a whole new spin on wiring these panels ! 240v DC who knew (not me)
