Yes, PPR pipes can be used as buried pipes for direct drinking water as they are safe, environmentally-friendly, and long-lasting. The second factor that should be considered is the depth of the pipes, which should be buried underground. The pipes should be at least 700 mm deep to protect them from external factors such as soil movement

6/3 Romex can be buried. It is known as a UF-B-certified cable. It can be used in wet, dry, and corrosive locations. So, it can be buried. But according to the NEC, the temperature of the 6/3 Romex cannot exceed 194 degrees Fahrenheit. Outdoor Romex: Outdoor Romex can be buried. This is a UF-type cable. Therefore, you can bury it directly.
To clarify, direct burial (i.e. not in any form of ducting or similar mechanical protection) of this type of cable is not permitted under BS7671, irrespective of what the

Laser processing has a long history in the manufacturing of solar cells since most thin-film photovoltaic modules have been manufactured using laser scribing for more than thirty years.
The buried contact solar cell is a high efficiency commercial solar cell technology based on a plated metal contact inside a laser-formed groove.
The buried contact technology overcomes many of the disadvantages associated with screen-printed contacts and this allows buried contact solar cell to have performance up to 25% better than commercial screen-printed solar cells. A schematic of a buried contact solar cell is shown in the figure below.
As shown in the Emitter Resistance page, the emitter resistance is reduced in a buried contact solar cell since a narrower finger spacing dramatically reduces the emitter resistance losses.
Metal conduit. The question would be whether photovoltaic wire (what IS the proper name, if not "MC"?) can be used inside conduit. It is already water proof, but not intended for direct burial. It's extra thick insulation might mean in a cable, bundle, conduit it would need further derating.
"You cannot use USE-2 in ungrounded photovoltaic arrays; this is the task that only PV wire can handle because service entrance cables can only be used in grounded systems." If that refers not to ungrounded frames, but rather neither PV- nor PV+ being grounded, it would rule out USE-2 for many PV systems.
If that refers not to ungrounded frames, but rather neither PV- nor PV+ being grounded, it would rule out USE-2 for many PV systems. Arrays used to be required to be grounded (but were often only grounded through a 1A fuse which would blow as part of GFCI function), but now many are ungrounded (all transformerless GT PV systems.)
