I've done the original Envoy at > 300 feet and was fine.

How far has anyone ever put an IQ Envoy from an array and successfully
monitored it?
I am planning a ground mount that is 300 feet from a home with 12/240V service.
The branch circuits will have an AC combiner panel on a rack at the array with
2 parallel sets of 4/0 Al conductors back to the interconnection point at the
house in a meter/main combo. I was planning to put a breaker in the meter/main
combo for the IQ Envoy inside an adjacent enclosure. I'm wondering if I will be
successful in picking up the microinverters 300 feet away.
I'd rather do this than locate that IQ Envoy near the array and worry about
getting Internet out there. I know Cellular is an option, but I hate the 6-hour
delay in data acquisition.
Thanks,
