TYPE 2

DC Solar Cables are Single core Copper cables each for +ve and –ve. They are insulated with HR 105°C PVC compound and and sheathed with UV stabilized HR 105°C PVC compound.

TYPE 3

DC Solar Cables are Single core Copper cables each for +ve and –ve. They are insulated with XLPE compound and and sheathed with UV stabilized PVC ST2 compound.

B. Array Junction Box to Main Junction Box and Main Junction Box to Inverter

These Solar DC cables which are not exposed to sunlight and are always routed through PVC Pipes which are laid underground. Choice of cables can be done from any one of the options given. Generally Option 3 is chosen for this route.
