Description

Kris-Tech’s Photovoltaic (PV) wire is available in solid or stranded copper configurations with XLPE insulation. Optional tin-coated copper conductors are also available upon request.

All black insulation has a “Sunlight Resistant” rating. 

Application

PV wire connects components within residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar panel systems.

600V PV wire is typically used in residential and small-scale commercial solar systems. Larger 2kV wires connect large commercial solar projects, industrial installations, and utility-scale solar.

PV wire applications include connecting solar panels as part of a string, home run installations, combiner box wiring, and grounding wire.

For some solar applications, USE-2 may be an acceptable substitute. 

Features

Kris-Tech’s American-made solar PV wire products are an excellent and reliable choice for outdoor use. Stranded copper conductors allow for easier installation in tight areas.

Conductors are coated with an XLPE insulation that is sunlight, moisture, abrasion, flame, and oil and gas resistant.
