Interesting...

What if the array is ground mount? I prefer not to have metallic conduit underground. Fortunately, for off-grid we often have a combiner on the rack that qualifies for a disconnecting means.

Also, off-grid Voc is on the order of 100 volts, as opposed to 400 to 600.

William,

It is interesting that the 2008 code also has the "utility-interactive" typo. None the less, it is appropriate to put photovoltaic circuits in metal conduit for off grid systems. The risk to fire fighters is nearly the same in both cases.
