LAPP has launched the ÖLFLEX® SOLAR XLWP cable, a permanent waterproof solar cable designed to perform in challenging solar environments. Its electron-beam crosslinked design guarantees continuous operation even when submerged, making it ideal for flood-prone areas or high-moisture regions. This cable offers unparalleled longevity, withstanding heat, ozone, UV radiation and mechanical stress. It can also withstand unprotected burials in professionally constructed trenches, having passed rigorous UL 854 impact tests. These features make it ideal for subterranean environments with severe and long burrowing times. Certified by the International Electrotechnical Commission, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation and AD8, the cable meets stringent environmental standards, including flame resistance and low toxic gas emissions during fires. The certified cables minimise technical problems and make maintenance easier by guaranteeing compatibility with other components. Furthermore, they provide long-term system reliability by lowering the risk of non-compliance and expediting the project deployment and approval processes. The ÖLFLEX® SOLAR XLWP features colour-coded stripes to prevent polarity errors and meter markings on the cable sheath for convenient measurement.
