Wrenches - Is anyone familiar with sunlight resistant THWN-2?  I'm
inspecting a groundmount on a Landfill where all PV Output Circuit wiring
is in exposed cable tray (since they can't dig) and they are using
SouthWire SIMpull sunlight resistant THWN-2 conductors.  NEC2011 690.31(B)
specifies USE-2 or PV Wire for Source Circuit wiring and module
interconnection, but doesn't address Output Circuit wiring.  Here are the
specs for the wire types used:

Is this legit?

"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion
to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor
safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could
ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!"
