Cable
Cable for solar panel systems is used to connect the various components of a solar panel system, such as the solar panels, charge controller, battery, and inverter. The type of cable used in a solar panel system depends on the specific application and the voltage and current requirements of the system.
-
PV (photovoltaic) cable: This type of cable is specifically designed for use in solar panel systems and is suitable for use in outdoor environments. It is typically made of copper and has a UV-resistant jacket to protect against sunlight and other environmental factors. PV cable is rated for use at 600V or less and is available in different gauges to handle different current loads.
-
Battery cable: This type of cable is used to connect the battery to the charge controller and inverter. It is typically made of copper and is available in different gauges to handle different current loads.
-
MC (multi-conductor) cable: This type of cable is used to connect the solar panels to the charge controller. It is typically made of copper and has a UV-resistant jacket. MC cable is available in different gauges to handle different current loads.
It is important to use the right type of cable in a solar panel system to ensure that the system is safe and operates efficiently. It is also important to use the correct gauge of cable to ensure that the cable can handle the current load without overheating.
