My supplier only sent 2 rolls of wire instead of 4 that I need for my two 2600 watt arrays. Anyway, I have trenched and am ready to lay conduit and pv wire.
I am laying watertight pvc conduit. Would it matter if I just picked up some 10 awg thhn from Lowe’s or somewhere local to lay along with the 10awg Pv wire? I’d rather use the pv wire but that will delay me while I wait for shipping.
second question, should I run the PV ground through the conduit with the pv wire? And does it need a ground rod at the array? I’m assuming yes. Someone mentioned running the bare ground direct in the trench. But then there’s an issue getting it inside the conduit and keeping it watertight at the house junction.
