What is the purpose of conduit in a solar PV system?

The purpose of conduit in a solar PV system is to protect wires from damage. Conduit serves as a physical protective pathway for electrical wiring, safeguarding it from environmental factors such as moisture, UV radiation, and physical impacts. This is particularly important in outdoor installations where wires can be exposed to elements that could cause wear and tear, potentially leading to electrical faults or safety hazards. Using conduit not only enhances the durability and lifespan of the wiring but also helps ensure compliance with electrical codes and standards that mandate safe wiring practices.

The other options do not accurately describe the primary purpose of conduit in this context. While increasing energy output, enhancing module efficiency, or improving aesthetics are important aspects of a solar PV system, they are not the roles that conduit serves.
