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 fe

I definitely considered this option. I would prefer to hardwire the envoy in this case back at the house. I was pleased to hear another wrench respond with a successful 350 ft distance. I will let you know how this goes. On Mon, Mar 1, 2021, 12:20 PM Glenn Burt wrote: > I have used a few differe

Hi Jason - I don't have the answer to your question because we've mounted the monitoring box out by the array for similar applications to what you described. I would suggest that if you mount your envoy far from the array, that at least you run a spare 1" PVC with some pull points out to the array
