Everything You Need to Know About DC Solar Cables
DC solar cables are single-core, insulated copper cables enclosed in a sheath. A solar panel system uses different types of cables. While the solar panel inverter and junction boxes are connected through DC cable, the substation and the inverter are connected through AC cable.
Things To Know About DC Solar Cables
DC solar cables can be either module or
string cables. They are prefabricated within the panels and come with
connectors. In a solar power system, cables are used to connect these 4
components:
1. The
solar panel
2. The solar panel
inverter
3. The
charge controller
4. The
batteries (used to store electrical energy for later use)
Here is everything that you need to know
about DC solar cables:
#1.Environmental Resistance
A solar cable is weather, ozone and UV
resistant as the solar panel systems installed outside the buildings are
constantly exposed to sun and humidity.
#2.
Heat Bearing Capacity
The solar cables can withstand high
temperatures, ranging from 40°C to 90°C.
#3.
Dielectric strength
Based on the type of their use, DC solar cables have
a high dielectric constant.
#4.
Malleable and ductile
The cables can endure high mechanical
stress like shear load, tension, and bending.
#5.
Fire-resistant and halogen-Free
Solar cables are halogen-free so they offer
a better protection against fire.
#6. Wire size
The solar panel system requires the right
size of solar cables to connect its various components. This eliminates the
risk of energy loss and overheating.
#7. Rodent and termite resistance
DC solar cables are optimally
strengthened to protect against rodents, and termites.
