Photovoltaic (PV) Cable is a specialized electrical cable designed to connect solar panels to the inverter or power system, ensuring safe and efficient transmission of DC electricity generated by the panels.

PV cables are UV resistant, weatherproof, flame retardant, and designed to withstand extreme temperatures and outdoor exposure, making them suitable for solar power installations.

Unlike regular cables, PV cables have enhanced insulation and sheathing to resist UV radiation, ozone, moisture, and mechanical stress common in outdoor solar installations.

PV cables typically comply with international standards such as UL 4703, IEC 62930, and RoHS to ensure safety, reliability, and environmental compliance.

Selection depends on current rating, voltage rating, cable length, installation environment, and compatibility with connectors and other system components to ensure efficient and safe operation.
