As I'm sure many of you can relate, we often have to use short to medium EMT runs to connect our PV wire between sections of the array split up by the roof faces. Over the ridges is a very common area for this. Since this is clearly an EGC (not GEC) we often use ground bushings at each end of the EMT for our bare #6 EGC so we don't have to run it inside our conduit with the PV wire. Well, we failed an inspection recently bc the inspector said it needed to be continuous and run inside the EMT. I found nothing in the 2017 NEC to support this. We use the typical SE Ungrounded HD wave inverters for all of our res installs. And of course, the same bare #6 is converted to stranded green inside the roof jbox to the inverter, which is obviously not continuous. I also looked at Unirac's spec sheets to see if they required it between rail sections and couldn't find anything.
So am I missing something?
