MPPT controllers don't care about 50-70ft cable run, if you detour through the fridge vent. With PWM this could be a problem, yes.
My 2*245W solar in series, #10 cable, goes through the fridge, then behind the cabinets and along the ceiling/wall corner, down to controller which is mounted inside in front bedroom. Don't want to expose +$300 device to elements.
I used Wiremold cover to hide the cable on the wall where it was not hidden in cabinets.
Battery cables are routed through the floor to Baby breakers box in front storage, then to controller.
