PV1-F Photovoltaic Cable — 1×2.5 mm², 0.6/1 kV AC · 1800 V DC (Conversions Tech)
Conversions Tech PV1-F Solar Cable is an industrial-grade, copper-core photovoltaic wire engineered for long-run DC performance in solar, BESS, and EV infrastructure. A cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation layer paired with a UV- and weather-resistant elastomeric jacket delivers elevated dielectric strength, abrasion resistance, and stable thermal behavior under outdoor exposure.
Key Performance Advantages
- Low-resistance copper (Class 5 flexible) for stable DC transmission and reduced I²R losses.
- XLPO insulation for superior dielectric strength, cut-through resistance, and thermal stability.
- Weatherable jacket formulated for UV, ozone, and moisture exposure in rooftop, ground-mount, and conduit runs.
- Wide thermal window: −40 °C to +90 °C continuous operation (short-time excursions per installation practice).
- PV-system ready: suitable for module interconnects, string wiring, combiners, and DC homeruns.
- Compliance oriented: designed to conform with NEC Article 690 practices and RoHS 2.0 restrictions.

Manufacturing & Quality
PV1-F conductors are produced via precision extrusion and cross-linking with in-line spark testing, concentricity control, and final print-legend traceability. Each lot undergoes continuity, insulation resistance, and jacket integrity verification to ensure consistency in field performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) What’s the primary use case for PV1-F cable?
PV1-F is optimized for DC photovoltaic circuits—panel strings, combiners, and inverter terminations—where outdoor durability and low resistance are critical.
2) How does XLPO insulation benefit solar wiring?
XLPO provides elevated dielectric strength, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance versus PVC, retaining properties after long-term UV/ozone exposure.
3) Can I run this cable in conduit or trays?
Yes. PV1-F is suitable for conduit and tray where permitted. Follow NEC fill, bend radius, and derating guidelines for ambient temperature and bundling.
4) Is the conductor tinned or bare copper?
This construction uses high-conductivity copper. If your environment demands enhanced corrosion resistance (e.g., coastal), request our tinned-copper variant.
5) What’s the continuous temperature rating?
−40 °C to +90 °C continuous service. Short-duration peaks may be permissible if installation conditions and code allow; verify per your AHJ/engineer.
6) What current can 1×2.5 mm² carry?
The nominal rating is 30 A, but actual allowable current depends on ambient temperature, installation method, conductor bundling, and duty cycle. Always apply derating.
7) Is it sunlight resistant?
Yes. The elastomeric jacket is formulated for UV and ozone resistance, maintaining mechanical integrity in rooftop and ground-mount exposure.
8) Can I terminate with MC4 or ring lugs?
Yes. Use connectors and lug sizes rated for 2.5 mm² (approx. 14 AWG) and the application voltage. Follow manufacturer crimp specs and pull-test guidance.
9) What compliance or environmental restrictions apply?
RoHS 2.0 and REACH compliant construction helps restrict hazardous substances. For project submittals, request our full compliance letter and test data.
10) Do you offer other gauges and colors?
Yes. Conversions Tech supplies PV1-F in multiple cross-sections and jacket colors for polarity identification. Contact us for cut-to-length and reel options.
11) How should I store cable prior to installation?
Keep reels in a dry, shaded area on a flat surface. Avoid kinks and edge impacts. Allow cable to relax before pulling to minimize installation memory.
12) What warranty is provided?
PV1-F carries a 10-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects when installed per Conversions Tech guidelines and applicable codes.
