Global cable manufacturer JZD Cable made a significant impact at Solar & Storage Live Africa 2025, Africa’s premier renewable energy exhibition. The three-day event, held at Johannesburg Expo Centre, attracted over 20,000 industry professionals, with JZD’s booth (Hall 5, A22) emerging as a key networking hub.
On-Site Engagement Exceeds Expectations
Within the first two days, JZD’s technical team distributed 1,200+ product manuals and brochures– 30% above initial projections – to developers, EPC contractors, and distributors. “The demand for climate-specific solutions is surging,” noted Key Account Manager Vivian “Our Africa-tailored photovoltaic cables, designed for temperatures up to 120°C and UV exposure over 2400 kWh/m², resonated strongly with attendees.”
Technical Comparison Reveals Market Gap
A live demonstration contrasted JZD’s 6mm² PV cable with locally sourced alternatives:
- Insulation Thickness: JZD’s 1.8mm cross-linked polyethylene (XLPO) vs. 2.3mm standard PVC in African cables
- Conductor Efficiency: JZD’s 1680-strand tinned copper vs. 840-strand bare copper locally
“Thicker insulation doesn’t equal better performance,” explained Engineer Mr.Liu. “Our material science reduces power loss by 2.3% under 50°C ambient, while leaner design cuts installation costs by 15%.”
Client Feedback Highlights Reliability Edge
Multiple attendees praised JZD’s 25-year warranty and IEC 62930/TUV dual certification. South African solar farm developer GreenPower Solutions commented: “The accelerated aging test data convinced us – JZD’s cables maintain 98% conductivity after 8,000 hours in desert conditions, outperforming regional suppliers.”
Strategic Roadmap for the Solar Industry
Building on exhibition insights, CEO Linda announced plans to improve the cables based on the harsh climate in Africa and the customer’s requirements for cable performance, and manufacture cost-effective solar cables to fit the market in Africa.
Next, we will be attending the Solartech Indonesia & Battery+ Energy Storage Indonesia 2025 from April 23rd to 25th and our booth is located at Booth A214-04, Jakarta International Expo, Indonesia. We cannot wait to meet with you at the exhibition, to discuss the industry trends and to look for opportunities for cooperation. Please don’t miss this valuable opportunity to learn about the latest solar technology and wire and cable solutions!
We are looking forward to work with more partners to create a better future. For more information about JZD Cable and our wide range of products, please visit our website at https://jzdcable.com/.
