[RE-wrenches] DC conductors in metallic raceway/conduit

[Dana]

Your assumption is the rule here. Metal inside a building envelope and it cannot transition at the penetration it must be metal before entry.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] DC conductors in metallic raceway/conduit

I was under the assumption that dc conductors could only be run inside a building when in metallic raceway/conduit (up to a readily accessible 
disconnect switch) .  The building being occupied/residence.    A 
contractor ran 5 feet of pvc from the wall penetration to the charge controller in a concrete block garage.  I don't see anything that allows this by what I find in the NEC. Has anyone have a reference that permits this?  Thank you for any assistance.
