Solar PV cable operates at up to 1500 V DC, in direct sunlight, at conductor temperatures that follow the irradiance curve every day for 25 years. ZMS builds PV1-F and H1Z2Z2-K constructions around tinned copper conductors, cross-linked insulation and a cross-linked XLPO sheath that is specified for continuous outdoor exposure.
Product pages include the full construction table, options and applications.
Single-core PV DC cable with XLPE insulation and cross-linked sheath for module-to-inverter wiring.

Typical construction data. Final values are confirmed on the order-specific datasheet.
We can adapt this family to the project requirements. Common options include:
A PV cable is exposed for the life of the plant, so the sheath has to survive sunlight, ozone and thermal cycling without cracking. PV1-F and H1Z2Z2-K constructions are cross-linked and tested for weathering to ISO 4892-2 before release.
The solar pv cables selection guide covers voltage rating, conductor class, screen and sheath options, drum length and the test reports issued with each delivery.

The right construction depends on voltage, movement and the environment along the route.
Jumpers between modules and string runs to the combiner box, where cable is exposed to full sun.
DC feeder runs in trays or ducts, where voltage drop and current derating decide the section.
Confined routes and long cable lengths on commercial roofs, where flexible Class 5 conductor helps.
