The Characteristics of Solar PV Cable

Application:

Applied to solar panels for power generation and related components of the wiring, connection, particularly suitable for outdoor. Resistance to sunlight, anti-aging, using the low smoke halogen-free flame retardant materials, higher grade, more safety.

Standard:

Adapted to PV systems, 2 Pfg 1169 / 08.2007 and EN 50618:2015.

Sheath : UV resistant, cross linkable, halogen free, flame retardant compound for Sheath over insulation.

Cable Colour : Black or Red

PV Wire Advantage:

PV modules operate at high temperatures and are exposed to a variety of environmental conditions. The NEC limits various PV array applications to USE-2 or PV wire. These cables need to meet the required sunlight resistance and temperature ratings for the environment. Solar PV Cables and wires are manufactured for use in photovoltaic applications, while USE-2 cable types are typically manufactured for underground service entrance applications. Both cable types commonly contain XLPE insulation and can be sunlight resistant and/or rated for direct burial.
