I'm struggling to find information about any restrictions on conduit routing through the roof and wall, so maybe you guys can confirm that I'll have no problems with the county inspector. Basically my plan to connect my solar panels to the AC combiner box is to route EMT 3/4 conduit through the roof ridge, through the attic, inside a wall, crawlspace and then exit close to the service panel where the AC combiner will reside. Before I give more details this is a 16 panel using Enphase microinverters with two circuits. All wires will be on metal conduit.
Anyway, on the roof penetration, I have a standing seam metal roof. I don't want to make more penetrations, so my idea is to route the conduit through the ridge, similar to this picture:

So the pipe will penetrate the barrier under the ridge cap and then take a 90 degree turn down.
Does anybody see any problem with that?
My second question is if is fine to just drill roles on the wall beans and route a conduit straight from the attick to the crawlspace. That would go on a inside wall that has gypsum boards on both side.
Anyway, appreciate any comment. I'm not sure where to find information if that is allowed or not.
Thanks
