You can run 120 and 480 in the same conduit. See 2002 NEC 300.3(C) Conductors of
Different Systems, 200.6(D) Grounded Conductors of Different Systems, and
210.4(D) Identificationof Ungrounded Conductors.

  <Why is it that PV is excluded anyway??? >

John Wiles explains in Photovoltaic Power Systems and The National Electrical
Code: Suggested Practices (December 1996)  -"This requirement stems from the
need to keep "always live" PV source conductors separate from those that can be
turned off."

Hope this helps.
