AC/DC in Same Conduit? [RE-wrenches]

I too would like the code reference, Bill. We have been operating on the
principles that:
1) Conductors of different voltages may share the same conduit (raceway,
gutter, etc.) as long as all of the conductors were rated above the voltage
carried by any of the conductors: 600V THHN, TC, etc.
2) Conductors of different voltages (or, in everyday usage, AC and DC) could
not terminate within the same enclosure; that is, conductors of one voltage
could only pass through the enclosure or j-box which terminated or spliced
conductors of another voltage/source.
3) PV source and load circuits could not share the same anything.
Please site specifics, or should we ask Mr. Wiles?
Thanks, Allan at Positive NRG
