Now to complicate things a bit- "within 10 feet"...is that IN the vicinity, or not?
690.43(C) All Conductors Together.
Equipment grounding conductors for the PV array and structure (where installed)
shall be contained within the same raceway or cable or otherwise run with the PV array circuit conductors when
those circuit conductors leave the vicinity of the PV array.

Here's a summary article with chart of changes.
Thoughts, anyone?
