EMT Conduit Into Main Panel

I've got my DC conduits run down to my SolarEdge inverter, now I need to run my AC wires from the inverter into the main service panel. The inverter and main service panel are right next to each other, the main panel is recessed into the house (stucco). I was planning on running EMT out of the bottom of the inverter then horizontal and turn into the the house just below the main panel with an LB. Once I'm inside the wall how do I transition up into the service panel knockout? It doesn't look like there would be enough room for a 90° EMT bend to make that transition.

I haven't played around with it but a 3/4" EMT 90° bend radius is 4-1/2" from what I could find, with the stucco being +1" thick I could probably get the bend into the wall and the LB flush with the exterior then use bend an offset to hit one of the knockouts? I'd have to go into the all far enough down to fit all this inside, if it is possible.

The other option looks like using an EMT elbow, pulling wire through this would be difficult but if I have an LB 3" away it seems like it would be doable.



I see this type of installation with an LB from the outside to flush mounted main panels for solar installations around me, but I don't see how it is working inside the wall. This is on my garage wall so I can open up the drywall if needed.

Looking to do something similar to this but from the bottom and with EMT to the main panel:

Usually when going thru a wall, an LB is on the outside and conduit run straight thru the wall into the breaker panel. Use a hole saw to make the hole. If you can't come straight in, use an LB on each side of the wall but if your panel is recessed mounted you really need to come straight in the backside.

I caution on using small conduit and small LB's, I like room to make things easier.

So in the example on my first post since they routed flex on the exterior they likely did the same inside the wall right? Is this acceptable since it AC power at this point?

In the example below you're saying they went straight through the wall to an LB, then went down behind the panel and used another LB to go into the back of the panel? Seems doable...

This is probably your easiest option.
