Solar DC cable is a cable specifically designed to connect solar panels, inverters, and other photovoltaic system components. This type of cable is designed with special conditions such as outdoor use, high temperature environments, and ultraviolet radiation in mind to ensure the efficiency and safety of power transmission in solar energy systems. The main characteristics of solar DC cable include:
Resistant to high and low temperatures, UV radiation: able to withstand extreme high and low temperatures with flexibility, as well as resist UV exposure, ensuring long-term stable use of cables in harsh outdoor environments.
Waterproof, anti salt spray, anti weak acid and alkali: It has good waterproof and chemical protection performance, and can adapt to various complex environments.
Anti aging: It has excellent anti-aging performance and extends the service life of the cable.
Flame retardant: possessing flame retardant properties to enhance safety.
Solar DC cable are usually made of tin plated copper wire as the conductor and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) as the insulation material. This material has good mechanical properties and chemical stability, as well as good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and wear resistance. It can be used in environments with sewage, rainwater, ultraviolet radiation, or other highly corrosive media. In addition, after irradiation, the insulation sheath of photovoltaic cables has the characteristics of UV radiation resistance, oil resistance, and long service life, further enhancing the performance and service life of the cable.
