I have until June 30th to get my system installed and running.

.....another attempt.
Is there a difference (to the inverter) if I make the 200 ft run from the array as a single string of 23 modules (920 volts and 10 amps)
and then just before the inverter I divide that into 2 lines (460 volts and 20 amps each) and then connect them on 2 of the 3 available inputs?

It's the "divide" part that is the problem. The power is DC. Can't "divide" it easily.

As opposed to making the 200 foot run with a string of 12 (480 volts, 20 amps) and a string of 11 (440 volts, 20 amps) and then connect each to on of the 3 available inputs on the inverter.

Only way to not fry your inverter 800' of #8 wire. (or # 10 if you don't mind loss) OR you can use 800' of #6 or #4 Aluminum wire like the utility's use. proper no-ox terminations, proper torque, all set. Price out a 1,000 foot spool of aluminum

That is 3 people saying it can not be done. I was hoping to see his wiring diag, to be more specific. Bruce Roe

The only way to combine is to put all the inverters at the array. Then you will have one run of 240v so voltage drop will be a problem but it is only one run.

too much voltage sag and the inverters will trip out though.

First of all -- thanks to everyone for all the advice so far. I appreciate it.
I plan on installing two sunny boy 7kw string inverters in the garage approximately 200 feet from 46 300w (39.7 volts and 9.35 amps each) modules ground mounted. Is there any problem with connecting 2 strings of 12 in parallel giving me approximately 476 volts and 18.7 volts to a single input on the first inverter and then connecting 2 strings of 11 in parallel giving approximately 437 volts at 18.7 amps to a single input on the second inverter?
Also would this XHHW type wire be suitable for my application https://www.wireandcableyourway.com/...ding-wire.html ?
