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. |
How many amps are you going to be running through that wire? Have you looked distant and amp charts?
You need to be careful about voltage rise. The inverter will increase the voltage to feed it back to the grid. If you have too much voltage rise from using wire not suited for that distance it will just shut down the inverter.
Here this explains some on voltage drop and why it is important
