I was wandering if what i believe to be rigid metal conduit and an LB body going to pv inverter boxes are a code violation?

I see that there are no support or securing straps withinn 3 feet of box termination or 10 feet for the conduit for every inverteron site.

I do recall that somewhere else in NEC code allows certain sized conduit bodies to be considered supported and secured if RMC is the conduit used but this exemption should no not allow full lengths of RMC to be free standing?

The entire photovaltaic field has all invwrters this way. Do inspectors just overlook these things?

From the bottom of the conduit to the locknut appears to be more than 36" so a support is required.
However, even if the bottom of the conduit were less than 36" we would still need atleast 1 strap to both satisfy the RMC securement and termination into box and RMC itself?

This was obvious to me but the entire site was built this way and appatently passed inspection
