Building a quality, safe and profitable solar PV plant with a good return on investment…
Solar cables for PV floating developers, contractors & integrators
Floating solar arrays are gaining popularity across the globe. They are likely to be installed on locations such as: industrial water ponds, mine takes, irrigation/ desalination reservoirs, dams, canals, retention ponds, etc, being the perfect pairing to existing hydropower infrastructures. Regardless of their size, floating PV installations require high-quality cables that provide maximum water performance, excellent mechanical properties, and superior sunlight resistance.
RUBBER CABLES ARE THE BEST CHOICE ON A FLOATING PV PLANT
Cables on a fotovoltaic PV plant must withstand harsh environmental conditions such as corrosion, inclement weather, and cold environments. They must also be extremely flexible, mechanically strong, as well as torsion and abrasion resistant, UV and ozone resistant.
The cable outer sheath shall be designed to be waterproof and permanently submerged (AD8), and shall not spread toxic chemicals when in contact with water.
For these reasons, rubber cables are the best choice on a floating PV plant.
Top Cable has an extensive experience in rubber cables for all kind of submersible applications.
SOLAR CABLES ENGINEERED TO PERFORM ON FLOATING SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
Compared to traditional ground-mounted and rooftop solar projects, the development of floating solar plants presents different challenges due to hydrodynamic loads on the structure, risk of corrosion and additional components to be designed, installed and maintained.
It is essential to use rubber cables with the highest performance to operate at full capacity despite the harsh environmental conditions. Top Cable has developed a range of rubber cables that provide maximum electrical performance in the extreme climatic circumstances that occur during prolonged exposure of cables in a floating PV farm.
