As solar PV projects continue to expand globally, the demand for 1500V DC cables has risen sharply. Compared with traditional 1000V systems, 1500V architecture reduces cabling cost, number of combiner boxes, and inverter units, resulting in significant CAPEX savings. However, this higher voltage requires premium insulation materials, precise conductor design, and strict quality control.

The NSPV Solar 4mm2 Tinned Copper DC Cable meets these stringent requirements, making it a trusted choice for EPC companies, solar developers, and system integrators. Whether deployed in solar parks in Europe, deserts in the Middle East, rooftops in Asia, or coastal wind-solar hybrid projects, NSPV cables deliver consistent reliability.

NSPV maintains a rigorous quality control system throughout cable production:

• Raw Material Inspection: Only high-purity tinned copper and certified halogen-free polymers are used.

• In-Process Monitoring: Automated extrusion, electron-beam crosslinking, and online dimensional checks guarantee uniform insulation thickness.

• Electrical Testing: Each batch is tested for dielectric strength, insulation resistance, and partial discharge performance.

• Mechanical Testing: Tensile strength, elongation, abrasion, and bending tests simulate decades of outdoor exposure.

• Environmental Testing: UV aging, salt-spray, ozone, and thermal cycling confirm long-term outdoor reliability.

This ensures that every meter of NSPV 4mm2 Solar Cable leaving the factory meets international standards and delivers peace of mind for installers and system owners.

• Supplied in 500m and 1000m wooden drums or 100m rolls depending on project needs.

• Custom cut lengths available for distributors and EPC contractors.

• Cable ends sealed with caps to prevent moisture ingress during transport.

• Clear outer labeling with batch number, manufacturing date, and certification marks for full traceability.
