Ah so….double-insulated is the key. I understand, Master.
I will get my peeps on it. marco It has to do with the development of a “double-insulated” conductor needed for ungrounded systems. PV Wire is double-insulated while USE-2 is not tested as double insulated. It is analogous to double-insulated tools in the U.S. that do not require a ground wire. Bill.

Therefore only modules with PV Wire/Cable can be used in these systems. You must confirm from the manufacturer that they have made the switch. Hopefully all manufacturers will be installing PV Wire/Cable soon so that this will not be a problem anymore. --My question: why is the standard USE-2 wire not acceptable any mo’? marco
