I have tried to find green #6 USE. #6 thhn & thhnw are not rated for sunlight as I have been informed. I have seen #6 USE in green offered but on inquiry it was only available if I purchased 10,000 Lft. When I pass on, I guess they could wrap me in it, electrify it & drop me in a hole someday down the road.
