Collection: Copper PV Solar Photovoltaic Cable

About the Product

Photovoltaic (PV) wire is a type of electrical wire specifically designed and manufactured to handle the unique needs of solar panel (photovoltaic) systems. When sunlight strikes a solar panel, it generates direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity needs to be conducted efficiently and safely from the solar panels to the inverter, where it's typically converted to alternating current (AC) to be used in homes or businesses or to be fed into the electrical grid.

Applications

Photovoltaic (PV) wire is a type of electrical wire specifically designed and manufactured to handle the unique needs of solar panel (photovoltaic) systems. When sunlight strikes a solar panel, it generates direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity needs to be conducted efficiently and safely from the solar panels to the inverter, where it's typically converted to alternating current (AC) to be used in homes or businesses or to be fed into the electrical grid.

The photovoltaic electric cable is suitable for direct burial, where it is used as an interconnection wire for both grounded and ungrounded PV systems. The electrical wire is used to connect photovoltaic cells to combiner boxes, combiner boxes to inverters, and inverters to the transformers. The electrical wire is rated 2000v. The PV wire is UV-resistant, durable, and able to tolerate high temperatures.

Photovoltaic wire is suitable for solar power generation, transmission, and distribution in domestic, commercial, and industrial utilities. It can be used for all purposes on the dc side of PV systems. The cable has a temp rating of 90 C in both wet and dry places. The lowest possible temperature is -40 C. It has the possibility to resist deformation at extreme temperatures. Based on its properties, the cable can be used for a minimum of forty years.

Conductor

The cable is made using soft and annealed copper conductor. The copper is annealed and compressed to improve its flexibility and strength.

Insulation

As a building wire, the cable meets harsh conditions that require proper protection. That is why a strong, moisture, chemical and heat resistant polyvinyl chloride is used as the cable insulation system. Besides, a nylon covering of top rating is also used to reinforce the insulation.
