Photovoltaic wire (PV) is mainly used for the transmission of DC power generated by the photovoltaic panels and widely used for the interconnection of photovoltaic modules and DC combiner boxes. It is also used for the rest connection of the photovoltaic system or similar power generation system. Suitable for fixed installation outdoors, indoors, for direct burial, in cable tray and cable conduits.
