Setting Up Solar Panels Far From Home - 550 Ft!! - Part Two | Better than 100% Efficiency?

We are pulling power from our 825W solar array from 550 ft away, we have had incredible results with the solar panels configured in series (high voltage). In part two, we explain the numbers and the process of gaining high potential power from an array that is very far away, we talk about the small amount of line losses and the surprising results that we get.
We also do a break down of the components of our power system.
There is very little information on running power from this far away, and I have been searching for the answer to our unique problem living deep in the shade of the trees. We run DC power a LONG distance and have very little losses, I hope this video helps others in their search to find a way to make power more attainable when there is a long distance to an open area for solar.
The wonderful thing about running panels in series is if your charge controller is able to accept high voltage, the more panels you run, the less your line loss is and the more power you can achieve!
