Solar Energy Cable Single Core 6mm² Black XLPE AD7 -25m Reel

Product Overview

The Solar Cable SOLAR1X6BKR25/AD7 is a 25 m Reel of 6mm² single-core solar energy cable designed for reliable DC cabling in photovoltaic (PV) systems and associated renewable energy installations. It features a flexible, tinned copper conductor with strong XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation and sheath that delivers long-term performance within both internal and external fixed wiring applications. This cable satisfies the harmonised H1Z2Z2-K standard and complies with BS EN 50618 for solar PV cables, assuring compliance with modern PV system requirements. The XLPE construction provides excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, moisture and temperature variations commonly encountered in rooftop, conduit or cable tray installations. Its halogen-free and flame-retardant properties help improve safety in residential, commercial and industrial environments. Rated for 600-1000 V AC and up to 1800 V DC, this cable supports reliable energy transmission throughout PV arrays and DC distribution paths. The compact 25 m Reel format offers installers a suitable solution for shorter DC runs, lessening the need for joins and simplifying installation between modules, combiner boxes or inverter connections.
