We don't use braided for direct burial. We use it to bond to the
array, run with the PV wires, and switch to regular copper as soon as
we go into conduit at the first J box. We zip tie it together in a
bundle with all the MC cables.

Braid tends to "wick" water, and we have seen it corrode into a
crumbly green mass of copper oxide in a matter of 2-3 years in wet/
damp locations. Probably OK for indoor use, but we prefer to avoid
it completely.
