Dana, I understand the need to use #6 in exposed places on the earth. I have had inspectors require the same wire size that is used to the battery. I have had them require the same size as the array wiring. I have never seen them do what they are doing to you so thanks for the info.... Be well! --Dave > The bare #8 is an EGC for #10 USE PV wire on the tracker to the array > mounted combiner box. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc. > C - 208.721.7003 [email protected] > Idaho Contractor - # 028765 Idaho PV # 028374 > NABCEP # 051112-136 www.solarwork.biz > "Responsible Technologies for Responsible People since 1988" > ï Please consider the environment before printing this email. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: RE-wrenches <[email protected]> On Behalf Of > Hilton Dier > Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2018 3:39 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [RE-wrenches] Looking for insulated #6 bare standoff > > Would #8 meet code?
