PV Wire / Photovoltaic Cable

PV Wire / Photovoltaic Cable

Photovoltaic cable for outdoor solar DC interconnection routes.

PV Wire / Photovoltaic Cable supports North American PV wire routes where UL standard selection, voltage rating and sunlight-resistant construction are required.

  • Key Technical Points:
  • PV cable selection should start from standard route and DC voltage rating.
  • UV resistance, weathering and outdoor sheath performance are central selection factors.
  • Tinned copper, copper and aluminum routes should be reviewed according to project market and termination method.
  • Direct-burial or special installation requirements should be confirmed before quotation.
  • Product Overview

    PV Wire / Photovoltaic Cable should be selected according to the actual project route, not by product name alone. Before quotation, review DC/AC route, voltage rating, UV exposure, temperature range, insulation/sheath system and project standard. Datasheet wording, compliance documents and final supply notes should stay aligned with the selected standard and installation conditions.

    Applications

    • PV module string and array wiring
    • combiner box and inverter DC connections
    • solar farm and rooftop PV cable routes
    • outdoor UV-exposed photovoltaic power projects

    Construction

    copper, tinned copper or aluminum conductor as specified with PV insulation and sheath system for outdoor solar use. Voltage rating, UV/weather resistance, flame performance and direct-burial suitability should be reviewed according to standard and installation method.

    Marking on Cable

    FARWALK CABLE – PV Wire / Photovoltaic Cable – [standard] – [DC voltage] – [size] – [year] – [meter mark]

    Cable Identification

    • Polarity identification, sheath color and printed marking can be reviewed according to PV project requirements.
    • Voltage rating and standard route should be visible in cable marking when required.

    Standards

    • EN 50618
    • IEC 62930
    • UL 4703
    • 2 PfG 1169 where specified

    Main Features

    North American PV Wire Route

    UL 4703 PV wire is reviewed for PV array wiring where North American code and project requirements apply.

    Sunlight-Resistant Construction

    Insulation and jacket materials should match UV exposure, wet location and outdoor solar installation conditions.

    Voltage and Conductor Review

    For PV Wire / Photovoltaic Cable, 1000V, 1500V or 2000V ratings and copper, tinned copper or aluminum conductors should be selected by project route.

    Product Selection Guide

    Market Standard

    Confirm EN 50618, IEC 62930, UL 4703, 2 PfG or local PV requirement according to destination market.

    DC Voltage Rating

    Separate 1000V, 1500V and 2000V DC requirements before selecting insulation and sheath construction.

    Conductor Choice

    Choose tinned copper, copper or aluminum after checking ampacity, voltage drop, connector and termination compatibility.

    Installation Route

    Review rooftop, ground-mounted, direct burial, conduit or tracker route conditions before quotation.
