Hi all,
We've got a few installations where we'd like to run the feed from the
panels to the inverter inside the building.  Even with a DC shutoff just
inside and metal conduit, the inspector isn't buying it.  Any suggestions?

I've

> pole (concerns someone will break it--this is a vandalism-prone area).
We'll

> 7/8" hole in the DP&W TOP mount will only take a 1/2" fitting, but we need
> 1" conduit for the three #6's. If we drill a hole through the pole wall we
> can't use nonmetallic flex out the side, because the bend radius is too
> small.

there.
