Hello all, I have to run 4/0 wire through a brick wall from my battery bank to an outdoor inverter. The wire will carry a max of 60V. Can I use Schedule 80 PVC conduit, or is EMT or some other type required? The inverter doesn't have much ingress space for a single two-inch conduit. Can I use two one-inch conduit lines from a junction box on the outside of the brick to run each wire to the inverter, or is a single run required? Photos for context.

PVC is OK.

NEC 300.3(B) would require both conductors to be in the same conduit unless you take some unusual measures, see NEC 300.3(B)(3).
