The battery wouldn't care if the inverter is 5 or 100m away but your wallet would when you buy the connecting cable. Our battery comes with 50mm2 cables for a 1.5m run -

Sorry I wasn't clear. They don't normally need to be close though some of the sleek all in one type obviously do! This was in the context of a long DC cable run from panels to inverter (and battery) There was a suggestion about putting the inverter next to the panels and running the underground cable in AC. If we used AC coupled batteries they could then be at the house connected via AC But a hybrid connects to the inverter over a DC line so if the batteries are to be at the house i'd need a DC line from the inverter by the panels to the house alongside the AC line from the inverter to the house! Which defeats the object of putting the inverter by the panels (to avoid a buried DC cable) in the first place 😁 -

If your proposed future roof needs parallel chords of a posi joist, at lengths like 6m, then you have zero chance of running a 4x2 for that distance, singularly, as nobody stocks them afaik; they’d be too weak also. For my current client I have had to sister 2x 4x2’s to get beyond 3.6m; single 4.8’s are possible, but are weak and useless. For s roof, forget it basically. Posi joists are cheap enough, so wasting time, effort, money the way you propose is a bit ‘non cost-effective’ and methinks wholly impractical. -

Your choice is a), over-mitigate with AS basin traps on top, or b), add them later if they’re needed. If you're going to buy a trap anyways, fit an AS one on both first as last; buy good quality ones from the likes of McAlpine. -
If this is the case then the aav doesn’t need to be at the furthest point? Is the basin gurgling fear mostly avoided by using the AS traps?
