We'll do batteries because of the sump pumps must run if we are not here.

Thanks for this thread!
I don't know about the power loss, voltage drop is supposed to be minimal. Maybe some electrician here can make the calculations. It's about 200 feet of 3 ought aluminum, 220 volts, I don't know the amperage but could be anywhere up to the 200 amp breaker. Once they are finished I'll get a set of the engineering drawings, that should have everything in it.
