TOPSOLAR PV LSZH Al 1500 V HEAVY DUTY_SOLAR CABLES_Products

Aluminium cable for buried photovoltaic installations

The TOPSOLAR® PV LSZH AL 1500V HEAVY DUTY cable can be directly buried in most soils. They can be installed in smaller trenches as no sand or external backfill is required. The special outer sheath compounds make this cable highly resistant to possible shocks and friction during its installation (impact and tearing). In addition, the cable is AD8 water resistant (submersible). Finally, this cable resists degradation caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays as it is tested for UV protection according to the solar standard EN 50618.
