Stock Up On Your Solar Wires And Cables
Solar wires and cables are the necessary connections for photovoltaic power generation as they interconnect with panels and various components of the system. Solar cables are special because they were designed to withstand the weather and are also UV resistant. It is due to this that they are capable of operating within a large temperature range.
Solar panels are often installed on a roof or another elevated structure. They harness solar power and transform that energy into usable energy. The solar panel can't do that without the correct use of solar wires and cables, and thankfully eBay has a full range available.
Solar Wires
The panels, charge controller, inverter, and batteries are connected by a solar wire. Solar wires are aluminium or copper and can be solid metal wires or stranded wires made up of numerous strands twisted together.
Solar wires are available in various conductor material, with installations at home or work typically using aluminium or copper solar wiring. Copper wire is more conductive than aluminium. Copper wire carries greater current, and it is more flexible and heat resistant. It can also be used both indoors and outdoors.
Solar Cables
Solar cables are utilised for heavier loads. Lines are made up of smaller gauge wires that are wrapped in a jacket. In a solar power project, three types of cables are used:
- Module cables/String cables: These are the cables that are used within the panels to link the various PV modules. Each panel is equipped with a set of string cables.
- Inverter-connected positive and negative nodes are connected by a DC cable, which is also known as "DC panel cables." Because these cables are intended for outdoor usage, the negative and positive cables are laid separately to prevent the possibility of an earth fault.
- AC connecting cables: These cables are used to connect an inverter or a solar meter to the electrical power grid. The number of cables required in this case is determined by the number of phases that are connected to the residence.
