PV Conductor and Communication Conductor in the same conduit

[tossfair]

Hey y'all, I got a question about running a communication cable in the same conduit as PV wire.

I'm planning to run a 600V PV cable from my rooftop array to my inverter, and a 600V insulated 18 AWG 2-pair tray cable in the same conduit. The tray cable runs to a Tigo Cloud Connect Advanced (a data logger for the PV system) housed in an enclosure separate from the inverter, and under normal operation won't carry more than 100mA.

Is this setup NEC compliant? would i need overcurrent protection for the communication device to be up to code even with the low current draw? I'm pretty sure the Cloud Connect/data logger won't draw more than an amp even if its cable gets energized by the PV array, but code is code and I want to make sure what I do will be up to NEC regulations.

Any light on this is appreciated.
