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 t...
