 I've tried this, and it works fairly well, but I found that running 
power out is often easier in the long run. In fact, what I did is run 
unregulated DC out, and had a point of load DC/DC converter to trickle 
charge the battery.  A lot of these switching/control functions are high 
peak, low average power.
Battery, battery box, solar panel and controller out in the area where your 
tower(s) are will eliminate that pair of conductors.
 
If you're digging a trench, dropping in another 3/4" conduit to carry 
AC power means you can have a convenience outlet to plug in things like 
soldering irons, test equipment, a sawzall, etc.
