PV source circuit disconnect location [RE-wrenches]

[Daniel Flanigan]

Wrenches:

Aside from the fact that its a good idea to do so, when running PV 
source circuits through a building in metal conduit, do you or do you 
not have to have a disconnect in accordance to 690.14(C)(1)?  

There seems to me to be a circular reference in the code.  690.14(C)(1) 
reads that a disconnect must be located outside or inside at the nearest 
point of entry.  Then there is an exception allowing the disconect to be 
remote from that point for installations that comply with 690.31(E) 
which requires the use of metal conduit.  But 690.31(E) requires that 
the disconect comply with 690.14(A)-(D) which require the disconnect to 
be outside or at the point of entry.  Does the exception prevail?
