This feels like back to the basics but I was wondering if someone could point me to where PV Wire is a requirement in 2014 NEC for the dc side of our solar systems.
We have already standardized using PV wire across the board for the dc side of our installations, but I am curious to know if this is absolutely necessary by code.
Is using USE-2 not allowed anymore under 2014 NEC? What if conductors were managed properly, not exposed to sunlight, and in metal conduit to the inverters. Is this no longer permissible?
Are we simply looking at 690.31 being a deciding factor on this? Please advise. :?
