Solar cables are intended for use in photovoltaic power supply systems and similar applications as free hanging, movable, fixed installation and buried in ground in constructional covered systems. The cables can be used indoor, outdoor, in hazard explosion areas, in industry and agriculture. They are suitable for applications in equipment with protective insulation (protecting Class 2).

What is Solar cable ?
Before introducing photovoltaic cable, let’s have a look what is photovoltaic system(PV system).
Solar cable, also called photovoltaic cable or PV wire, is a single-core wire used to interconnect the solar panels of a photovoltaic system. PV systems, or solar panels capture sunlight in order to produce electricity through an energy conversion process. Electricity is produced at the panel and wiring is needed to convey the electrical energy back to a collection point or piece of equipment. Solar wire is a specific kind of wire created for PV applications.
The photovoltaic wire was originally intended to be a single conductor similar in construction to a Type UF (Underground Feeder) or Type USE-2 (Underground Service Entrance wire rated for 90°C wet applications). However, because some solar applications are massive, the amount of power they generate is considered utility scale. This large amount of power requires a large conductor, often called a collector cable, which is addressed by the increases in sizes now allowed for UL Listed Photovoltaic Wire under the UL Subject 4703 revisions.
The new voltage ratings permitted in UL Subject 4703 can now accommodate voltages greater than 1,000 volts. By connecting the direct-current generating panels together in series, the voltage in an entire array can be increased to fairly high levels, which accounts for the higher voltages.
