Solar Cable PV1-F
DESCRIPTION
Solar cable or PV (Photovoltaic) wire is specifically designed for use in solar power applications, connecting solar panels to inverters and other electrical components in a photovoltaic system. These cables are built to withstand the unique environmental conditions associated with solar installations, such as prolonged exposure to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
APPLICATION
Solar cables PV1-F acc. to 2 PfG 1169/08, are intended for use in Photovoltaic Power Supply Systems at nominal voltage rate up to 1,8kV D.C.
They are suitable for applications indoor and/or outdoor, in industrial and agriculture fields, in/at equipment with protective insulation (Protecting Class II), in explosion hazard areas. They may be installed fixed, freely suspended or free movable, in cable trays, conduits, on and in walls.

Sizes of Solar Cable / PV Wire
Solar cables come in various sizes, typically measured by their cross-sectional area, expressed in square millimeters (mm²) or American Wire Gauge (AWG). Common sizes include:
4 mm² (approximately 12 AWG): Used for small solar panel installations and in situations with limited current.
6 mm² (approximately 10 AWG): Widely used for most residential solar installations.
10 mm² (approximately 8 AWG): Suitable for larger systems or longer cable runs where lower voltage drop is critical.
16 mm² (approximately 6 AWG) and 25 mm² (approximately 4 AWG): Often used in larger, commercial installations where higher current capacity is needed.
