[RE-wrenches] Enphase Envoy in PVC J-Box

When mounting an Envoy on the supplied DIN rail in a PVC box wired via PVC
conduit, is there any requirement to accompany the conductors with a ground
wire? The envoy itself does not have a ground connection and the only
exposed metallic part is the DIN rail.

I'm thinking I need to mount a ground lug in the PVC box so the circuit
conductors have a ground wire in the conduit. I have always used the IQ
combiner even for larger systems because it was just easier. I'm
considering changing to a regular PVC junction box with just an Envoy.

While on the subject, if there is ample space within a load center, would
it be permissible to mount the Envoy right inside the enclosure? 400A plus
load centers in residential settings often have a lot of empty space!
