Conduit inside the tracker pole [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Ken,

Why not use USE wire? It's legal even without the conduit. Or, why not go
through the back of the combiner box? Then it's all enclosed anyway. I
always use flanges for my big Wattsun trackers (I believe I was the first to
come up with this solution because of an access problem we had with one of
the first AZ-300's) and it works great.

Also, why do you need conduit when running wire inside the pole? Isn't that
enough of a conduit already? :-)
