Cable specialist Prysmian Group will be launching new solar cables, compliant with the global standards EN 50618 and IEC 62930 and enhanced with long-term resistance in water up to 1800 V DC.

According to Prysmian, extreme climate events like heavy rains and floods may cause deterioration to solar cables and failure with negative consequences on power generation capacity, reliability of power supplies and return on investment.

Prysmian performed extensive R&D to develop Prysolar with the aim of minimising cable failure due to unpredictable challenges from increasing solar applications.

Prysolar offers significant climate strength and a longer lifetime thanks to what Prysmian hails as a first-in-the-industry test protocol that certifies long term resistance in water for DC cables.

Also, operational efficiency is enhanced by the use of tailored solar string monitoring systems based on proprietary PRY-CAM technology.

“Solar photovoltaic generation is set to cover more than 50% of the global electricity demand by 2050. Return on investment, asset efficiency, OPEX and Levelized Cost of Energy are the main and most critical priorities for our customers in the solar industry. Prysmian Prysolar, is the new generation of cables designed to provide our solar customers with peace of mind in these areas”, says Vanessa Alvarez, SVP industrial specialties, Prysmian Group

Prysmian will officially launch Prysolar at the Genera 2023 International Energy and Environment Fair taking place in Madrid from February 21 to 23, 2023.
