Conduit For Solar Panels

Emt electrical metallic tubing is required unless otherwise specified.

Conduit for solar panels.

The nec national electric code requires solar wiring to be transitioned to conduit before leaving the array. This mppt solar charge controller can be used to charge or maintain renewable energy batteries in solar systems more efficiently from the solar panels. This installation is rather unique in that the panels had to be designed to fit across a tight space. Never use smaller conduit than what is spec d in your plans.

In a solar power system without conduit your outdoor wires could get wet eventually corrode and your pv system would likely suffer extensive and expensive damage. Solar and wind power as well as emerging technologies such as biomass and fuel cells are transforming california. You can use larger conduit than specified if necessary to ease the conductors in.

Installing conduit is necessary to protect your wires from all exterior or interior elements and vice versa. With arrays that can be linked together in larger blocks there will be even less conduit showing on your roof. Notice the electrical conduit located on either side of the panel arrays.
