The use of photovoltaics has been an essential part of renewable energies for years. It reliably makes a major contribution to the energy turnaround in order to successfully solve the challenges posed by climate change. Photovoltaics is widely used, from large-scale systems by energy suppliers to systems for single-family homes.

What special requirements must conductors and cables in PV systems meet?

Modern PV systems generate significantly higher outputs than just a few years ago. The high system voltage requires more powerful lines and components. A PV system is usually in operation for 20 years or more. Wires and cables must therefore be made of durable and high-quality material. They are constantly exposed to wind and weather. For reliable performance, their components must therefore be particularly weatherproof against heat, wind and frost. Also make sure they are rodent proof.

To exploit the full potential of energy supply, the relatively young industry is working with new technologies and applications such as organic photovoltaics (OPV). The requirements of the photovoltaic industry for cabling solutions range from large, robust underground cables for power plants to filigree connection technology for the flexible modules of the OPV.

Which lines for PV systems?

High-quality products and easy installation are decisive factors you should pay attention to. If one of the cables becomes fragile or fails, this affects all other cables of the same reel. Re-installation and removal can be very expensive. In the long term, therefore, it pays off to invest in durable and high-quality material.
