Photovoltaic string cable sits outdoors for decades, at full sun, at voltages that arc if the insulation is compromised. The requirements are UV stability, thermal endurance and a jacket that survives the daily temperature cycle without cracking.
State the system voltage and the installation method — free air, conduit or tray all change the current-carrying requirement. Connector compatibility also has to be specified, because the cable end is only as good as its termination.

Every construction in this table is a build we have made, described by its technical data only. The buyer, the platform it went into and the application remain that buyer's — we do not use a customer's design as a reference or a case study. If you need a reference for a comparable programme, ask at enquiry stage and we will say what we are able to share.
Solar Cable buying questions.
Solar constructions are specified for continuous outdoor exposure. State the installation environment and the compound is selected against it.
Set by the string voltage and the applicable standard, not by the cable cross-section. Both have to be given for a quotation.
From 2.5 mm² upward, matched to the string current and the run length.
