Common Questions What is the maximum current capacity of this 6.0mm² cable? A 6.0mm² solar cable is generally suitable for currents up to 30-45 Amps, depending on specific installation conditions and temperature. For off-grid 12V systems, it can handle solar panels and kits up to approximately 300W, and higher power ratings at higher voltages due to lower current. Can these cables be used outdoors? Yes, these cables are specifically designed for outdoor use. They feature 120°C XLPE insulation which is UV, ozone, and weather-resistant, and have a working temperature range of -40°C to +90°C. The waterproof MC4 connectors further ensure durability in various weather conditions. Are these cables compatible with all solar panels? These cables are fitted with standard MC4 connectors, making them compatible with most solar panels and charging kits that also use MC4-type connectors. Always verify the connector type on your existing equipment before purchase to ensure proper fitment. What does TUV certification mean for solar cables? TUV certification signifies that the cables have undergone rigorous testing by an independent third-party organisation and meet high international standards for safety, quality, and performance. This includes tests for electrical safety, durability, UV resistance, and temperature endurance, ensuring reliability in photovoltaic applications. Installation Notes Ensure correct polarity when connecting the male and female MC4 connectors to prevent system damage. Route cables to avoid sharp edges, excessive bending, or potential mechanical damage that could compromise insulation. Use appropriate cable management solutions (e.g., clips, conduits) to secure cables and prevent strain or tripping hazards. For permanent installations, it is advisable to consult with a qualified electrician or solar installer to ensure compliance with local wiring regulations and best practices. Before You Buy Verify the required cable length for your specific solar panel layout to ensure adequate reach without unnecessary slack. Confirm that your solar panels or existing cabling use MC4-type connectors for seamless compatibility. Consider your system's total power and voltage requirements to ensure the 6.0mm² cross-section is appropriate for your application and minimises voltage drop. For larger or complex solar systems, seeking professional advice is recommended to ensure optimal cable sizing, system design, and safety. Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing solar system components before making a purchase.
