Photovoltaic Cable for Solar Farm Installations

Solar farms expose cable to sunlight, weather and many years of unattended service. AP Technology supplies photovoltaic cable for solar farm installations, giving contractors and developers an interconnect supplier with experience of the renewables market. This cable is used for connecting modules and strings across ground mounted and rooftop arrays. Cable can also be supplied alongside armoured and instrumentation products, which is useful where a single site needs a varied selection of materials. Specialist cable supplied for renewables includes wind tray turbine cable, photovoltaic cable, tri-rated cable to BS 6231, power limited tray cable, steel wire armoured cable, and single and multi-core rubber and aluminium cables. Custom-made cables can be produced where the application calls for something the standard ranges do not cover. Renewable sites are hard on interconnect products, with UV, moisture, vibration and long cable runs all in play. Standard cable can be over armoured for direct burial or over sheathed for the environment, and Bimed IP68 glands and EMC glands protect cable entries into cabinets and enclosures.

Everything can be supplied together, which keeps site packages simple. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.

Drawings, samples or an old part number are all a good place to start.
