RPVU 90 Solar PV Cable

RPVU90 Solar Cable is a specialized type of electrical cable designed for use in photovoltaic (PV) systems, such as solar power installations. It is engineered to connect solar panels to other system components, like inverters or array boxes, and is suitable for both DC (direct current) and AC (alternating current) connections.

Application

RPVU90 cables are used for interconnecting photovoltaic panels in rooftop or solar farm setups, linking them to the broader electrical system that converts solar energy into usable electricity.

It can be installed indoors or outdoors, in raceways, conduits, or exposed wiring setups, and is compliant with the Canadian Electrical Code (e.g., CEC Part I Section 64-210) for photovoltaic systems. Its versatility makes it ideal for both grounded and ungrounded systems.
