Photovoltaic dedicated cables

Due to soaring electricity costs from fuel fossil energy and greenhouse gases emission concerns, the photovoltaic PV market has experienced unprecedented growth over the past decade.
The photovoltaic power is well on the way to becoming a fully competitive part of the electricity system in the European Union (EU) and an increasingly important part of the energy mix around the Globe. PV markets are stronger than ever, and PV now appears on the energy map of several countries as a real alternative to conventional electricity sources.
Costs of PV installation are going down and despite Western European markets being volatile because of Feed in Tariffs and incentives being reduced, some markets are on the way to reach grid parity, the point at which alternative means of generating electricity becomes competitive versus commercially available grid power based on coal or gas.
In order to respond to his customers’ request, Nexans has developed a wide range of cables and services for connecting photovoltaic installations under the brand Keylios®.
Through this comprehensive range of cables and services Nexans is well positioned to tackle all customers from modules manufacturers to projects developers, installers, specialised distributors or wholesalers.
Energyflex® cables are designed to comply with the international standards of the solar plants. They are dedicated to the photovoltaic system direct current (D.C.) side with a nominal D.C. voltage of 1.5 kV and a maximum D.C. voltage of 1.8 kV. These cables are suitable for permanent outdoor long-term use, under variable and harsh climate conditions. They are designed and tested to operate at a normal maximum conductor temperature of 90°C and for 20,000 hours up to 120°C. Therefore, the expected period use is more than 25 years under normal usage conditions (lifetime acc. to Arrhenius-Diagram).
TÜV-certified, they fit main connectors, are color-striped for easy installation and phase identification, meet RoHS directives.
