A DC voltage distribution system includes at least one load connected in parallel to a first DC power supply via a first distance of wire, and connected in parallel to a second DC power supply via a second distance of wire. The first and second DC power supplies are configured to enter a load sharing mode in which one of the first or second DC power supplies selectively increases its voltage to prevent the other of the first or second DC power supplies from exceeding its power output threshold. The DC power supplies are also configured to enter a load balancing mode in which the DC power supplies set their output voltages to the same value such that a flow of current on the longer of the wire distances is reduced and a flow of current on the shorter of the wire distances is increased.
