In the fast-evolving solar industry, certified, high-quality cables are essential to ensuring the efficiency, durability, and safety of photovoltaic (PV) installations. Recognizing this need, Sowell Solar has launched two advanced tinned alloy PV cables specifically engineered for ground-mounted solar systems. These cables, known for their superior electrical and environmental performance, are designed to meet industry demands for sustainable, long-lasting infrastructure in the renewable energy sector.

PVENER series PV cables have passed TUV test and obtained certification. The standard of this product is 2 PFG 2642. This product adopts aluminum alloy or tinned alloy conductor. In order to solve the problem of copper aluminum transition, we use the self-developed tinned alloy conductor. The product serial number is PVENER-V1. The nominal sectional area is 4mm², 6mm² and 10mm².

Overview of Sowell Solar’s Certified PV Cables

The two products in focus are the PV-H1-40 and PV ENER-V1-60 cables, each built to stringent standards and optimized for reliable, high-voltage applications in ground installations. Both cables are certified to meet relevant industry standards, promising excellent performance and longevity even in challenging outdoor conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

1. High-Quality Conductors for Reliable Energy Transfer

   - The PV-H1-40 model utilizes tinned copper, known for its high conductivity and excellent resistance to corrosion. This ensures minimal energy loss over time and a stable connection in environments exposed to moisture and UV radiation.

   - The PV ENER-V1-60 cable is made with tinned aluminum alloy, offering a lightweight, cost-effective alternative to copper. Tinned aluminum alloy maintains good conductivity and durability, making it an ideal choice for large-scale solar installations where weight and cost are critical factors.

2. Durable Insulation and Extended Service Life

   - Both cables are insulated with 125°C low-smoke, halogen-free electron radiation cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO). This insulation not only enhances fire resistance and reduces toxic emissions in the event of fire but also increases durability under high temperatures.

   - Designed to withstand ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +90°C, these cables are suitable for a wide range of climates, from hot desert regions to colder mountainous environments.

   - With a service life of over 25 years, Sowell Solar’s PV cables offer long-term reliability, essential for the financial and operational sustainability of solar power projects.

3. Industry-Leading Certifications

   - Sowell Solar’s PV-H1-40 cable is certified to EN50618, while the PV ENER-V1-60 meets the 2 PFG 2642 certification. Both certifications confirm the cables’ performance in rigorous environmental and electrical conditions, ensuring safety and compliance with industry standards.

   - These certifications underscore Sowell Solar's commitment to quality and reliability, making the cables suitable for large-scale projects and government-approved solar installations where certified materials are often required.

4. Optimized for High-Voltage Applications

   - With a rated voltage of 1500V DC, both cables are built for high-voltage PV systems, supporting efficient power transmission over long distances. This feature is particularly valuable for ground-mounted solar farms where arrays are spread over vast areas.

   - The low DC resistance (<5.09Ω/km) minimizes energy losses, helping to improve the overall efficiency of solar installations and maximize energy yields.

Applications in Ground-Mounted Solar Installations

Sowell Solar’s PV cables are optimized for use in ground-mounted solar power systems, which often require cables capable of withstanding environmental exposure and ensuring stable power transmission. Ground-mounted systems tend to be larger and are deployed in diverse geographical locations, often necessitating cables with enhanced UV resistance, durability, and conductivity. Sowell Solar’s certified cables meet these needs, making them ideal for industrial solar farms, commercial facilities, and utility-scale projects.

In addition to these applications, Sowell Solar’s cables are compatible with MC4 connectors, which are the most widely used connectors in the solar industry. This compatibility simplifies installation and integration with existing solar arrays, reducing setup time and labor costs.

Supporting the Transition to Renewable Energy

With the global shift towards renewable energy, reliable components like Sowell Solar’s PV-H1-40 and PV ENER-V1-60 cables play a crucial role in ensuring that solar power systems operate at their best for years. High-quality, certified components allow solar projects to be more cost-effective over time, reducing maintenance needs and avoiding frequent replacements. By investing in products like Sowell Solar’s certified cables, solar project developers and operators can build infrastructure that is not only efficient but also aligned with sustainability goals.
