2 Product Overview
The H1Z2Z2-K 16mm² solar cable is a TUV Rheinland certified photovoltaic cable (Cert. R 50647630) purpose-built for high-current DC power transmission in utility-scale solar farms and large commercial PV installations. It complies with EN 50618:2014 and IEC 62930, ensuring full acceptance across European and international markets.
The cable features a high-purity tinned copper conductor with Class 5 flexible stranding (119 strands × 0.4mm per IEC 60228), delivering exceptional current-carrying capacity with low DC resistance (≤1.24 Ω/km) while maintaining flexibility for routing in cable trays, conduits, and tight spaces around module frames.
The double-layer XLPO (cross-linked polyolefin) insulation and jacket are produced via electron-beam cross-linking, providing outstanding thermal stability with a maximum conductor temperature of +125°C, UV resistance, ozone resistance, and mechanical durability over 25+ years of outdoor service. The LSZH jacket ensures low smoke and zero halogen emission in fire conditions, meeting the highest safety standards for commercial and residential applications. The cable also features AD8 water resistance rating, suitable for continuous immersion and direct burial.
Manufactured to rigorous quality standards under the management of SORIVO, the H1Z2Z2-K series spans 1.5mm² to 35mm² under TUV certification. Each batch is tested to 6.5 kV AC dielectric strength and 10 kV AC spark test, ensuring consistent quality across every production run. The cable is engineered for 25+ years of service life in ground-mounted solar farms, rooftop systems, BIPV, and energy storage applications.
