12AWG UL Solar Panel Cable Wire
Solar Cable Application
12 AWG UL Solar Panel Cable Wire is a type of electrical cable that is specifically designed for use in solar power systems. It is made from high-quality, stranded copper wire that is insulated with a tough, weather-resistant material.
This makes it ideal for use in outdoor applications, where it will be exposed to the elements.
Here are some of the specific applications of 12 AWG UL Solar Panel Cable Wire:
-
Connecting solar panels to each other
-
Connecting solar panels to an inverter
-
Connecting an inverter to the grid
12 AWG UL Standards
12 AWG UL Solar Panel Cable Wire is a type of electrical cable that is specifically designed for use in solar power systems. It meets the following standards:
-
UL 4703: This standard is set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a safety organization in the United States. UL 4703-rated cable is designed for use in photovoltaic (PV) power systems, including solar panels. It is tested to ensure that it is safe for use in outdoor applications and that it can withstand the harsh elements.
-
UL 854: This standard is also set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). UL 854-rated cable is a type of USE-2 underground service entrance cable. This means that it can be used for underground burial.
-
RHH/RHW-2: This refers to the National Electrical Code (NEC) ratings for the cable insulation. RHH/RHW-2 insulation is made from a material that is resistant to heat, moisture, and oil. This makes it ideal for use in underground and wet locations.

Rated Voltage
The rated voltage of a solar cable refers to the maximum voltage it can safely handle. The higher the voltage rating, the thicker the cable insulation will need to be.
Conductor
The conductor of a solar cable is the part that carries electricity. Solar cables typically use tinned copper conductors because tinning helps prevent corrosion.
Jacket
The jacket of a solar cable is the outer layer that protects the conductor from moisture, sunlight, and abrasion. Solar cable jackets are typically made from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)
Durability
Solar cables are designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments, including exposure to sunlight, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
Temperature
Solar cables are rated for a certain temperature range. The maximum temperature rating of a solar cable is the highest temperature it can safely operate at. Common temperature ratings for solar cables include -40°C to +90°C.
