Sunlight resistant PV cable

Southwire developed an answer to customer needs for enhanced UV protection on photovoltaic (PV) wire slated for solar installations above ground. Southwire's newly-introduced Super Sunlight Resistant - SSR photovoltaic (PV) cable provides a solution for ever-present solar rays, which age jackets on exposed above ground solar cables. Understanding the challenges faced with harsh solar conditions, Southwire sought to help improve the longevity of jacket color on cable used in solar farms. The company's engineers developed a solution to prolong and maximize sunlight resistance. Extensive laboratory testing on the SSR product has proven its longevity for color retention as well as superseding elevated tensile and elongation trials.
