Technical Guide to Solar Cables

Solar cables are crucial components in solar systems, connecting solar panels to other parts of the photovoltaic (PV) system. Our solar cables are UV-resistant, weatherproof, and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, ensuring reliability and durability in even the harshest environments.

Types and Applications of Solar Cables

PV systems convert sunlight into electricity through solar panels, but they rely on specialized cables to transmit the power. The main cables used are PV Wire, USE-2 Wire, and THHN Wire, each of which is suitable for different applications due to its unique construction.

PV Wire

PV Wire is commonly used for interconnection wiring in PV systems. Key features include:

  • Conductors: Bare or tinned copper
  • Insulation: XLPE
  • Voltage Ratings: 600V, 1000V, or 2000V
  • Temperature Range: +90°C (wet) and +150°C (dry)
  • Applications: Suitable for grounded and ungrounded PV arrays, direct burial
  • Standard: UL 4703 compliant

USE-2 Wire

USE-2 Wire is explicitly designed for grounded PV arrays with the following characteristics:

  • Conductors: Aluminum, bare, or tinned copper
  • Insulation: XLPE
  • Voltage Rating: 600V
  • Temperature Range: +90°C (dry and wet)
  • Applications: Crush and impact-resistant, ideal for industrial applications
  • Standard: UL 854 compliant

THHN Wire

THHN Wire is a building wire commonly used for power transmission:

  • Conductors: Bare copper
  • Insulation: PVC
  • Voltage Rating: 600V
  • Temperature Range: +90°C (dry) and +75°C (wet)
  • Applications: Not suitable for applications requiring USE-2 or PV Wire
  • Standard: UL 83 compliant

Selecting the correct cable size is essential for the safe and efficient operation of solar systems. We offer a range of cable sizes and specifications to meet the diverse needs of various systems, including connections between power inverters, batteries, charge controllers, and solar panels.
