Hello guys...
I believe (but I can be wrong) that the code is pretty clear on this.
. No problem with the metal conduit.
. Use bonding bushing on the ends (to be sure that the conduit is
bonded)
. No problem with the ground wire touching the conduit - in fact the

I agree with you about a no-shortcuts and full workmanship plan of attack. That
is how we will all stay in business and continue to make local scale PV a
success. However, when we dissect the details of running between multiple array
sections I still don't see a good solution. I'm gla
I deal with New Mexico/ Colorado/ Texas for my inland experience, and
Hawaii/ Mexico for my coastal experience.

Wrenches,
U.S. electricians have different rooftop wiring and conduit options that worked
successfully before PV and work well with PV. The same holds true for Europe.
I've seen bad and sloppy work on both sides of the pond. John Berdner and
others familiar with European wiring practices and do
