Solar Cables

Using solar energy as a source of electricity has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason: solar energy is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to generate electricity and has the potential to drastically reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change. However, for solar systems to work efficiently, they need the right solar cable. Offgridtec offers a wide range of solar cables so that you can find the right model for your system.

What is the purpose of a solar cable?

Solar cables are the crucial components of a solar system. They connect all the photovoltaic modules and the inverter together and form the link between the solar system and the home's electricity grid. They are also designed to withstand corrosion, ultraviolet radiation and other environmental factors. In addition, solar cables must also be able to withstand extreme temperatures and the electrical currents associated with power demand. These cables are designed to withstand years of harsh weather conditions and can also be used indoors.

Solar cables at a glance

The type of cable used for a solar installation depends on several factors, e.g.:

  • the total power of the solar system
  • the distance between the solar installation and the inverter
  • the local building regulations and
  • the voltage drop

In addition to selecting the right type of cable, the quality and size of the conductor must also be considered. The cross-section of a solar cable is a decisive factor for the successful design and operation of solar energy systems, as it affects how safely and efficiently the electricity is transmitted. In our online shop, we stock solar cables in different thicknesses. You will find solar cables with a cross-section of 4 mm, 6 mm and 10 mm.

FAQ

  1. What is a solar cable? Solar cables are the crucial components of a solar system. They connect all photovoltaic modules and the inverter to each other and form the connection between the solar system and the house's power grid.
  2. What are solar cables made of? Solar cables consist of two parts: the conductor and the insulation. The conductor is the metal wire inside the cable that carries the electrical current. The insulation is the material that surrounds the conductor and prevents the current from escaping from the cable. It can be made of rubber, plastic or other materials.
  3. How large must the cable cross-section be? In normal domestic installations, each cable must have a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm. Stronger currents must be connected with stronger cables, here at least 2.5 mm is prescribed.
  4. What distinguishes Offgridtec's solar cables? Our solar cables withstand corrosion, ultraviolet radiation and other environmental factors and convince with their long service life. They can also be used indoors.
