[RE-wrenches] protecting wire below 8'

[AE Solar]

Kirk,
Not sure if this helps but
690.31(A)  “where PV source and output circuits operating at max system
voltages greater than 30v are installed in readily accessible locations,
circuit conductors shall be guarded or installed in a raceway”

It doesn’t mention 8’ but mentions “readily accessible”. We have AHJs that
interpret that as 8’ unless a 6’ fence is installed around the array. I
don’t have a reference for those measurements though...just feedback we
have gotten from inspectors
