Wrenches - Is anyone familiar with sunlight resistant THWN-2? I'm inspecting a groundmount on a Landfill where all PV Output Circuit wiring is in exposed cable tray (since they can't dig) and they are using SouthWire SIMpull sunlight resistant THWN-2 conductors. NEC2011 690.31(B) specifies USE-2 or PV Wire for Source Circuit wiring and module interconnection, but doesn't address Output Circuit wiring. Here are the specs for the wire types used:

It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!" ~William McDonough
