 ELECTRON BEAM CURED SOLAR DC CABLES
INTRODUCTION
In the world of depleting non-renewable resources for
energy, there has been an increased focus on renewable
sources for power, transportation and every other aspect
of life. Amongst all the sources of renewable energy, Solar
Energy is the one which has gained most ground in the
recent past due to high efficiency of our ability to harness
it, its mass appeal and ease of expansion.
A solar power plant is only as reliable and efficient as the
cables connecting the Solar PV Panels. To cater to the
sturdy requirements of Solar Plants and extreme
weathering conditions in which the solar plants are
installed, Electron Beam Cured (EBXL) Solar DC Cables are
the most effective way to connect solar power plants.
PAGODA EBXL XLPO SOLAR DC CABLES
Solar power plants are often designed and installed in
remote areas in open air. The various components of the
plant are subjected to tough and harsh environmental
conditions. The solar plants are expected to provide a
consistent output of power over a long period of time (~25
years) without much deterioration of its components and
output.
PVC and XLPE Insulated cables do not fit the bill as far as
the requirements of Solar Power plants are concerned. To
this end, PAGODA EBXL XLPO Solar DC cables come to the
rescue.
PAGODA brand of EBXL XLPO Solar DC Cables are
designed to withstand and perform consistently under
extreme weather for a sustained period of time. The cables
are Ozone resistant, UV resistant, Acid and Alkaline
Resistant, Fire Retardant as per relevant international
standards.
The cables are cured using Electron Beam technology
which provides for consistent curing across the length of
the cables and no by-products are released during the
curing process. This is the most environmental friendly
way of curing the cables and is in-line with PAGODAs
commitment to reduce its carbon footprint.
