SOLAR CABLE
Solar cable is the interconnection cable used in photo-voltaic power generation. A solar cable interconnects solar panels and other electrical components in the photo-voltaic system. Solar cables are designed to be UV resistant and weather resistant. It can be used within a large temperature range and are generally laid outside.
The cable is tested to last 25 years. All sizes of solar cables from 0.5 SQMM to 300 SQMM are available.
Special Properties of Solar Cables
- Lifetime reliability: lasts up to 30 years even under tough external conditions.
- Outdoor durability: resists extreme temperatures (-40°C to 120°C maximum at the core) and ozone resistant.
- UV resistance: full protection against ultraviolet rays.
- Halogen-free: Low Smoke Emission & Low Toxicity/Corrosivity during fire.
- Properties against fire: flame retardant, fire retardant.
- Flexibility and stripability: for fast and easy installation.
- Fully recyclable: in accordance with new environmental regulations.
- Easy installation with color identification (blue, red).
- Suitable to common connector types.
- UL, TÜV, UTE and IMQ-certified.
