Linking power to renewable growth

To meet an ever-growing need for power, the world is increasingly turning to renewable and sustainably-sourced energy. In response to this demand, Prysmian Group’s cables are helping businesses in the solar industry around the globe to convert these new opportunities into reality.

Our technologies are hard at work across the renewables sector, supporting the operations of contractors, developers, grid operators, PV panel makers, PV power generation system integrators and even entire solar parks. In recent years, Prysmian Group has supplied components and services to worldwide solar installations from residential installation to large scale utility projects. 

Prysmian Group offers a range of flexible cables for photovoltaic applications under the name TECSUN which is the premium brand made in Germany with almost 20 years of experience and more than 1.5 million km sold. TECSUN is designed for indoor and outdoor use in photovoltaic power systems, as well as in industry and agriculture. This cable outperforms the standards of PV cables, and is designed for the roughest conditions*, such as when installed directly in soil, water or explosive areas. The cable is TÜV and VDE certified and belongs to CPR class Dca s2,d2,a1.

Prysmian Group also offers complete cables solutions to enable the production and supply of solar energy. In addition to solar PV cables, the Group’s cable portfolio includes low, medium and high voltage cables according to the standards of each region, as well as special cables for communication and control.

In addition to cables, Prysmian offers electrical asset management solutions with PRY-CAM, the revolutionary technology for on-line, accurate and reliable partial discharge measurements, diagnosis and defect localization.

Environmental simulator

Prysmian Group has developed an environmental simulator to demostrate in 20 minutes how different PV cables handle 15-20 years of workload, including weather conditions such as UV, ozone, heat and humidity. The results highlight the most common faults in PV cables such as discoloration, cable shrinkage, outer sheath cracks, gap between sheath and insulation. 

 

See the difference. Feel the difference. And choose TECSUN - cable that outperforms the standards of PV cables.
