Solar cables connect solar panels to other electrical devices to transmit electricity generated from sunlight. They are flexible, rated for a temperature range of -40°C to 90°C, and have a maximum allowable DC current voltage of 1.8 kV. They are designed to resist UV light, harsh weather, and are halogen-free, flame retardant, and resistant to salt water and acidic/alkaline conditions. The positive and negative cables are double insulated and run separately to reduce interference and increase safety and efficiency.
A solar cable is a cable used in the generation of photovoltaic energy, a process that leads to the creation of electricity from sunlight. During this process, a solar cable connects the solar panels with other electrical devices in the system, allowing electricity to be transmitted from one point to another as needed. Designed for use in a variety of jobsite conditions, a solar cable is a greener alternative to a traditional power cable.
Solar cables are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Typically, they are rated for a temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to 90 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit to 194 degrees Fahrenheit). The maximum allowable DC current voltage for most solar cables is 1.8 kilovolts (kV). Solar cables are flexible and are encased in a metal mesh which helps to avoid overvoltages and increases the shielding capacity. Overvoltage can occur when the current flowing through a wire is greater than its rated capacity; shielding is the process of protecting the cable and carriers from electric current.
Designed to resist both ultraviolet light and the elements, solar cables can be installed outdoors without problems. In fact, these cables see most of their use outdoors, exposed to harsh sunlight and harsh weather. Thanks to the shielding and casing on the solar cables, the lines can be run above ground in highly exposed areas without the risk of failure in the physical lines themselves or in the electrical quality of the signal traveling through the wire. The insulation material used is also resistant to salt water and both acidic and alkaline conditions. In addition, they are halogen-free, flame retardant and flame retardant.
A solar cable is flexible, designed to be used in both fixed and mobile installations. Inside the outer casing of the solar cable, the positive and negative cables are double insulated and run completely separate from each other. This reduces the risk of interference or signal degradation, further protecting cable quality. The chances of ground faults and shorts are substantially reduced by this precaution, increasing the overall safety and efficiency of the cable itself.
