Wiring system for solar PV

Neat enough job and probably technically compliant, but is it sensible to put the DC side conductors in metallic trunking and conduit even if they do meet the class 2 or equivalent requirement? 

I am aware that there are SWA cables specifically for solar PV, so I guess there is not much difference if the SWA is earthed. However, on a slightly different point, if these SWA DC cables are buried, what is the point of earthing the wire armour?

  • If it's a solar farm, there are a number of cases where the earthing of the solar farm is intertwined with the HV earthing ... so you really might want to consider 'transfer potential' and the effect of earthing (or not earthing) the armour ...
