Description

Overview

We have installed electron beam irradiation facility with 1.5 MeV, 2.5 MeV and 3 MeV accelerators and use this technology for cross-linking of elastomeric insulation and sheath of solar DC cables. Our photovoltaic (PV) cables are used for interconnecting photovoltaic solar panel arrays in solar energy farms. These solar panel cables are suitable for fixed installations, both internal and external, and in open environments or in conduits. The compounds have zero halogen, low smoke properties and are ultra violet ray as well as ozone resistant. These cables can last for over 25 years. What’s more, these can offer the rodent-resistance feature and are available in a range of options: copper, copper-coated aluminium or 8000 series aluminium. Rodent and termite-resistant cables are made with the nylon-12 layer between two layers of XLPO. Depents on application twin solar cables can also be of
