Why Use Solar Panel Wire?

Why Use Solar Panel Wire?

Photovoltaic modules operate in conditions that generate high temperatures and are often exposed to hostile elements of the environment. A typical solar cable is exposed to the outdoor and must withstand ultraviolet light, heat, extremely cold weather, wind gusts, sand storms, snow, and rain. Many solar power applications call for laying solar cables underground, which exposes these wires to even more stress and friction.

As a result of such extreme operational requirements, a solar cable manufacturer must meet high standards when producing these cables. These high standards are governed by the National Electrical Code, which usually limits solar wiring to high-performance solar PV cable.
