What Is The Difference Between Solar Cable And Normal Cable?

Published by Author: Joey Wan September 19,2023

The main difference between photovoltaic special cable and ordinary cable is that solar cable is specially designed for use in solar power generation systems. There are many factors that differentiate solar cables from regular cables. An important factor is their ability to handle higher temperatures. Solar cables are often exposed to high temperatures due to prolonged exposure to sunlight.

 

Another major difference is the resistance of solar wire  to ultraviolet radiation. Solar cables exposed to direct sunlight must be resistant to the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ordinary cables can quickly break down when exposed to UV radiation, resulting in loss of power or even catastrophic failure.

Solar cables use different insulation materials than regular cables. The solar cable uses XLPO high-quality insulation material, solar wire UL approved, with excellent electrical and thermal properties. The insulation used in solar cables is resistant to heat and chemicals, which is critical to maintaining the safety and efficiency of the entire system. Regular insulation does not provide the same level of protection or durability over time.

 

 

In terms of durability, solar cables have a lifespan of over 25 years, making them a cost-effective option in the long run. Unlike ordinary cables, 10mm2 PV cable, PV cable using for solar panels has been tested for its ability to withstand extreme weather conditions such as wind and snow to ensure that it can provide uninterrupted power supply.
