Solar cables and wires——the balance of system | Sunkean.com

 Building a quality, safe and profitable solar PV plant with good return on investment   is the most important objective of investors, project owners and also developers.

The quality, safety and profitability of a solar plant do not only depend on the workmanship and efficiency of PV modules and the realibility of the inverter, but also to the balance of system components that for many seem not to have direct or not much impact.

Wiring is often not considered to be a critical factor, however neglecting correct wiring and using material that is not suitable for solar applications can compromise the overall life time of a system.

Cables and wires are considered as veins and arteries of any electrical power system.

To qualify for use in PV power applications, the insulation and sheath material of solar cables and wires must meet several crucial requirements, including:

Good weather- and UV-resistance, as solar cables lay usually outdoors and are subject to direct sun radiation and air humidity

Withstand high and low temperatures and thus be usable within a temperature range of usually between -40°C to 90°C

Withstand mechanical stress from pressure, bending or stretching as experienced during installation be resistant to abrasion, therefore most sheaths are made of plastics cross-linked using electron beam

Withstand chemical stress in form of acids, alkaline solutions and salt water.

SUNKEAN is a professional solar cable manufacturer in China, and its products have passed international certifications such as TUV, UL, SJET, IEC, and CE.
