introduction

Ⅰ. Product Overview

The 10 mm² single-core solar cable is engineered for high-current DC power transmission in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Featuring a robust black sheath with UV and weather resistance, this cable combines a high-purity copper conductor with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, ensuring durability in outdoor installations. Supplied in standard 100-meter rolls, it balances efficient power delivery with flexible routing capabilities for medium to large-scale solar setups.

Ⅲ. Key Features

3.1 High-Current Capability

  • Solid core design supports 60A continuous current, ideal for 10-50kW PV systems.

  • Low DC resistance (1.83Ω/km) minimizes voltage drop, maintaining ≥97% power efficiency in 100m runs.

3.2 Extreme Environment Resistance

  • UV-stabilized sheath prevents cracking from prolonged sunlight exposure (tested to 1500 hours).

  • Withstands -40°C to +90°C temperature cycles, suitable for cold climates and high-temperature regions.

3.3 Installation Flexibility

  • 100m roll length reduces connection points, minimizing installation time.

  • Flexible construction allows routing through tight spaces (minimum bend radius 20mm), compatible with conduit or direct burial (with protective tubing).

3.4 Safety & Compliance

  • Halogen-free materials meet RoHS standards, limiting hazardous emissions.

  • Flame retardancy exceeds IEC 60332-1 requirements, self-extinguishing within 15 seconds.

Ⅳ. Applications

  1. Commercial & Industrial PV Systems
    • Main DC wiring between solar arrays and inverters in 20-100kW setups

    • Substation connections in large-scale solar farms

  2. Off-Grid & Hybrid Systems
    • High-current links between panels, batteries, and charge controllers

    • Wiring for solar-powered water pumping or industrial equipment

  3. Agricultural & Remote Installations
    • Solar-powered irrigation systems requiring long cable runs (≤200m)

    • Remote monitoring stations in rural areas

  4. Marine & RV Applications
    • Durable wiring for boat-mounted solar panels

    • High-capacity connections in RV solar kits with multiple panels

Ⅴ. Installation & Sizing Guidelines

  • Voltage Drop Calculation:
    • For 100m runs at 60A, voltage drop ≈1.1V (≤2% of 1000V system).

    • Extendable to 200m with drop <5% in 48V battery systems.

  • Termination & Connectors:
    • Compatible with MC4-EVO connectors, lug terminals (10 mm²), and crimp sleeves.

    • Use hydraulic crimp tools for secure connections; avoid mechanical compression.

  • Environmental Protection:
    • Direct burial requires a PVC conduit; outdoor exposure without conduit is permitted if UV-rated.

    • Maintain 30cm clearance from heat sources (e.g., exhaust pipes).

  • Polarity Marking:
    • Black sheath denotes negative (-) DC; pair with red 10 mm² cable for positive (+) in parallel setups.

Ⅵ. Compliance & Testing

  • Certifications:
    • TÜV EN 50618 (for 1500V DC systems)

    • IEC 62891 (thermal aging test)

    • UL 4703 (optional upon request)

  • Testing Protocols:
    • High-voltage withstand (3000V AC for 5 minutes)

    • Moisture resistance (85°C/85% RH for 1000 hours)

    • Tensile strength (≥18N/mm²) and elongation at break (≥200%)

Ⅶ. Packaging & Warranty

  • Packaging:
    • 100m roll on a heavy-duty cardboard reel, wrapped in anti-UV plastic.

    • Custom lengths (50m, 200m) available for bulk orders.

  • Warranty:
    • 7-year manufacturer warranty against material defects.

    • Lifetime technical support for cable sizing and installation issues.
