Wrenches,
I'm wondering if here is anybody out there that has
installed any Xantrex 600v charge controllers out there. I looking at a job
and thinking about replacing an MX-60 with a 700 foot pipe run to the array
wired with #6 thhn!!!! My understanding is that the further away you get
from the battery voltage, the greater the efficiency loss is within the
unit. Outback gives the curve to show the loss of output at higher voltages,
but searching Schneider's site I can't find anything close. It's either
going to be this, or tying a grid-tied inverter through the Outback output,
but doing that would only get me single stage charging. Has anyone watched
these controllers over time? Monitored its output?
Thanks
