[QUOTE="revor, post: 498782, member: 23254"] Thanks for that. The plan by the installer was for 2 cat 5e cables think I now understand what these are for one will be as you suggest the other I guess the other for monitoring the system and link to the cloud (I think.) The reason for my question was that I was looking for an alternative to the Sola X batteries and inverter system that has been proposed as it all made in China and from recent and previous situations no longer think I want my money going there. I reckon I will not be alone in that thinking but time will tell. Whilst browsing possible alternatives came across Powervault and in that spec the distance to the CU is limited to 25 M. I was wondering whether that was a typical scenario in this situation for the different makes. The batteries are limited to temperature variations as you state, I think the spec on the proposed is 0 to 35 deg outside this range will shut down. I have built a special insulated (not quite finished) small building to house the gear.
