Inverter output circuit sharing conduit with non-PV circuit

[dgwahlquist]

Can an inverter output circuit be run in an existing conduit with a non-PV circuit?

The PV system is using micro inverters. The PV string is located on the house roof and the inverter output circuit will run to a sub-panel located in the basement, which is fed from the main panel located at a detached garage. The most viable way of getting the PV string circuit into the basement is to run it through the same conduit which contains the feeder circuit for the house sub-panel. It's not clear to me if NEC 690.4 restricts me from doing that. Thanks.

You can do it. Restrictions only apply to DC circuits. "PV source circuits' and 'PV output circuits' are DC circuits and are defined at the beginning of 690.

690.4 is an out of date reference for California, by the way. The language is moved to 690.31(B) in the 2014 NEC / 2016 California code.

Thanks jaggedben. That's how I read the code. I was just looking for some validation of that.
