Solar Cable
The cables used for wiring the DC section of a grid-connected wind or PV system need to be selected to ensure that they can withstand the environmental, voltage and current conditions at which they may be expected to operate, including the heating effects of both current and sun.
Double insulated single core cable for use together with polarized weatherproof DC connectors to allow fast, easy connection of solar modules, speeding installation time and eliminating wiring errors.
Special tools are required for crimping the connectors to the cable.
Multi-Contact Flex-Sol Cable
Made by MultiContact and guaranteed for use with their connectors.
Single-pole, double insulated solar cable with fine-wire copper strand. The robust, flexible and space-saving design of FLEX-SOL ensures constant electrical and mechanical properties during the whole life of the PV installation.

Made-Up Cables
These cables have a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other. They can be used to extend PV module output cables or cut to provide a male & female cable from module to junction box.
We can also provide ready made DC cables fitted with connectors to customers requirements. These are needed between the PV array and the DC isolator and between DC isolator and inverter. Simply tell us the length of cable required and terminations required on either end. A small labour charge is made for cable assembly.
