Bob, You made me go out to the Monty and measure with a tape. It's worse than I thought.
The distance from the top of the fridge vent to the bottom of the belly is 9 feet. From that point to the batteries it is in a conduit and it is exactly 18 feet plus a couple of feet for routing. That is a total of 29 feet. I'm running 28.6 Amps out of the combined panels to the controller. What does your chart say? Mine says NO. I may have to re-engineer and come down the Black Tank Vent. Then it would be about 6 feet from the roof vent to the ceiling of the basement and 4 feet across the basement ceiling and 2 feet into the battery compartment for a total of 12 feet. I have a 500 ft roll of #8 and 4 50 foot rolls of #6. I think #6 won't be overkill. YOU?
