- Product Details
Aluminum solar cable, or aluminum PV cable, is a common cable typically used in solar power generation systems to connect solar panels to inverters, charge controllers, and the electrical grid. Made of aluminum conductors, aluminum PV cable is lightweight and flexible, making it easy to install and wiring in the system. Moreover, aluminum solar cables adopt double XLPO construction (insulation and sheath) and are typically coated to protect against corrosion and UV radiation. In cost-conscious solar applications (especially in large-scale installations), aluminum alloy PV cables are preferred.

FAQ
What is the main advantage of Aluminum Alloy cable over Copper?
The primary advantage is cost efficiency. Aluminum alloy cables can reduce the cable budget by 30-50% compared to copper. Additionally, they are significantly lighter (approx. 50% the weight of copper), reducing transportation and structural load costs.
What standards apply to Aluminum Alloy Solar Cables?
Since EN 50618 only applies to copper, Aluminum Alloy cables must be certified to TUV 2PfG 2642 (Europe/International) or UL 4703 (North America). They must also meet IEC 62930 requirements for PV cables.
Does Aluminum Alloy suffer from "Creep" or "Cold Flow"?
Standard aluminum does, but AA-8000 series alloy does not. The specific alloying elements (like Iron) strengthen the crystal structure, giving it creep resistance comparable to copper, ensuring that terminals do not loosen under thermal cycling.
