Wiring a solar PV array, the strings need to get into a building to a combiner box, Can single conductor use2 cable be run from the pv panels into a weatherhead and through a short conduit run (6'or less) to the combiner box?

USE cable is not restricted for only underground service entrance use.(weird sentence) ;)

There is another identification mark to indicate the insulation and temperature rating. This mark will indicate the approved application.

That answers my question, thanks Bennie. The cable has multiple ratings including RHH RHW, so it would be fine for conduit. I quess I was confused because USE wire normally is only allowed to go 6 feet into a building, I think because it is not fire/smoke rated. - back to work..
