Product Overview

This UL 4703 PV Wire is a single-conductor, sunlight-resistant cable specifically engineered for the demanding environment of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems. Rated for 600V, 1000V, or 2000V in both AC and DC applications, it is designed for interconnection wiring within grounded and ungrounded PV arrays. Featuring excellent UV, thermal, and cold flexibility performance, it is the reliable choice for module-to-module and balance-of-system (BOS) connections.

Applications

This versatile cable is designed for the core interconnection needs of solar installations:

  • Module Interconnections: Wiring from PV module junction boxes.

  • Balance of System (BOS) Integration: Required cable routing within combiner boxes, inverters, and other system components.

  • General PV System Wiring: Suitable for both exposed and conduit runs within PV arrays.

Standards & Certifications

This PV Wire is manufactured to meet critical North American safety and performance standards:

  • UL 4703 for Photovoltaic Wire (Primary Standard)

  • UL 44 (RHW-2) and UL 854 (USE-2) for cross-listed ratings

  • RoHS Compliant

  • Flame Test Rating: VW-1

Key Features & Specifications

  • Voltage Rating: 600V, 1000V, or 2000V.

  • Temperature Rating: -40°C to 90°C (Wet or Dry Location). Also available in higher temperature ratings (105°C, 125°C, 150°C dry).

  • Conductor Options: Available in stranded copper (18 AWG - 2000 kcmil) or stranded aluminum/copper-clad aluminum (12 AWG - 2000 kcmil).

  • Environmental Durability: Sunlight (UV) resistant, flame retardant, and cold-flexible jacket and insulation.

  • Electrical Code: Suitable for use per the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70, Article 690 for Solar Photovoltaic Systems.

Construction

  • Conductor: Stranded Copper or AA-8000 Series Aluminum/Copper-Clad Aluminum.

  • Insulation & Jacket: Single conductor with non-integrally jacketed, sunlight-resistant, flame-retardant thermoset insulation (e.g., XLPE or cross-linked Polyolefin).
