Why is it not acceptable to install the diodes and the relays at the top of the tower.

Why can't you epoxy or conformal coat the entire box and achieve reliable operation.
It seems the money saved in 4 lengths of wires should make up for the extra effort.

I never stated it was unacceptable.

Just that it would still need several control lines (to control the contactors) running down the tower, along with the DC + and - lines.

For ease of maintenance and repair I'd like to have the contactors and rectifiers on ground level though.
