Maybe the inspector just didn't like the look of it for some reason?
Sometimes it's just easiest to ask the inspector what he would like to see.
If he didnt give the code reference it may be one of these items below:

Article 110.12 Workmanship ( the catch all of many issues for some

I’m not the code expert.
But here is a company making parts used for code installations.

Maybe one of theirs will work instead of the plastic chase.

Without question the wires are either supported via a rail or strut between
the rows of modules or trenched underground if a ground mount. I have seen

If there is a child-proof fence around this installation, please disregard

I would slide 3" of 3/4" 600 volt heat shrink over the end of a stainless steel
hose clamp and secure the wire to the rail where it comes out of the conduit at
each end. Chris Worcester chris@solarwindworks.com530-448-9692Sent from my

Once in my life i had an inspector concerned about strain relief, i used a
GBC on each end of the pipe, it surficed. I think i could have used a bell
mouth connector.

Hi Dave,
I typically use the same method you do for running conductors between two
non-continuous arrays. I have never had an issue with either AHJ blowback
or actual compromised conductors due to a lack of strain relief.
The only code reference I can think of is 300.4 regarding protection

In Florida, the AHJ is required to cite the section of code when rejecting
work. I always ask for that if rejected. I'm not sure how things work in NY.
You might start with 690.31(C)(1) that allows PV wire to be exposed within
the PV array. The array boundary is defined elsewhere as within 1 ft of

Hi Wrenches,
Wondering how people are installing the Discover AES. I get that they can
be floor or wall mounted, but I'm trying to avoid exposed conductors and a
rack seems like the best option. Any insights?
Kindly,
