I don't intend to run a grounded conductor (neutral) to the array location. I should have been clearer about that. There will be no way to connect the Envoy out there. That's mainly why I was looking for confirmation that it will pick up microinverters over long wire distances. This saves me 600 feet of 1/0 wire.
