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 in case you need to move the Envoy and feed an internet cable in the future. PVC is cheap to drop in a trench when you're already trenching.
