Solar cable is the interconnection cable used in photovoltaic power generation. A solar cable interconnects solar panels and other electrical components of a photovoltaic system. Solar cables are designed to be UV resistant and weather resistant.

Application

Solar cables are primarily used for the interconnection of the various elements of the photovoltaic system such as solar panel arrays. It can be installed for internal & external, within unprotected pipes or in similar closed systems. Solar Panels, Solar Power Plant, Solar Pump Installation.
