  Jeff,

  Exactly the reason I made this suggestion to begin with. I have seen this 
several times with outlest in house wiring, so why not in a PV system?

  Jay,

  Solid #12, while unlikely to have a break in the wire, can. Stranded,
  due to construction of the wire, is not subject to the same possibility.
  I've actually (in pre-PV days) had a piece of Romex that had a
  discontinuous conductor in it. Worked when the Romex was bent a certain
  way (ends of conductors touching internally) but not when left in
  position. When commenting about my misfortune to a large electrical
  contractor, he said he saw that not infrequently.

  Also less likely to nick the insulation on a stranded wire, since it
  pulls easier through the pipe.

  Jeff
