New to Solar retired and now just reading and learning

You folks are missing this is 90C wire and direct burial allows even more amps. Got it covered...
 
I'm familiar with the bundled wire tables and single wire ampacity in free air, also ambient temperature adjustment going up to 1.04 for cooler ambient. I've found a couple references to direct burial that are for higher voltages.

Can you point me at a link that addresses our sort of application?
Not that I can't imagine cool thermally conductive earth helping with heat dissipation, but I'm not sufficiently versed in NEC.

Thanks.
 
Table 310.16 covers not more than 3 current carrying conductors in a raceway, cable or earth. (Direct buried).
