Your assumption is the rule here. Metal inside a building envelope and it cannot transition at the penetration it must be metal before entry.

The building being occupied/residence. A contractor ran 5 feet of pvc from the wall penetration to the charge controller in a concrete block garage. I don't see anything that allows this by what I find in the NEC. Has anyone have a reference that permits this? Thank you for any assistance. -- Christopher Warfel, President ENTECH Engineering, Inc.
