Why Use Solar Wire?
When it comes to electrical wiring and cabling there are state, municipal and federal compliance guidelines and code regulations to abide by for the safety of the user, installer and the inanimate structure or real estate which will house the wire or cable.
NEC and UL Listing
Wiring and cable come in different sizes, insulations, sustained heat résistance, and deterioration resistant from sunlight and ozone oxidation but each wire type meets a code standard for a specific application use. The NEC, National Electrical Code denotes the standardization for all electrical wires, cables and components and their use by that code. The UL Listing means Underwriters Laboratory’s tested the electrical products, components, wire, cabling and circuitry for compliance with the NEC and for safety in its defined use under a rigid protocol of testing.
The Green Initiative
The movement of the world is in a greener direction in an act to reduce the carbon footprint society has left on the earth for future generations.. We as a society are collectively improving our use of the five “R’s” of Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, Reduce and Renew with the later being those things which nature will renew. Nature will renew trees and the like but it is not considered a renewable source because of nature’s production time. Renewable energy sources and the products that allow us to create renewable energy sources should be in the general forefront of our thinking green.. Each of us can take a stance to incorporate the five “R’s” into our life and become part of a collective global action for a greener earth but the last ‘R’ of renewable energy takes engineering components that make up our renewable energy sources from solar and wind which we should embrace and promote.
Take a look at your home and the electrical apparatus in it or a car and you’ll soon realize they have an energy source wired to a function or multitude of functions. If you were to supply your home’s functionality with a renewable energy source what would be the connection to from home to source?
Electricity
Electricity is the only source of renewable energy that is clean and green. Green electricity is sourced from natural occurrences or elements of nature such as wind and sun with the most generally reliable source being solar energy because solar energy can be easily stored. Electric hybrid cars have begun to infiltrate the market but will soon give way to solar powered cars to eliminate the demand on fossil fuels and non renewable electric sources.
As consumers we don’t pay attention to all the details, we just purchase the products we like and leave the reliability and safety to the manufacturer; however things are changing as become more involved with the state of our planet and begin to take an active part in the solution..
Energy Savvy
Contractors and homeowners are going green. The internet marketplace is flooded with do it yourself Photovoltaic solar panels and roof construction plans you can purchase complete with a material list. Photovoltaic cells convert the sun’s rays into electricity. As I alluded to earlier, the most important factor in carrying current is wiring and pacifically wire for use with Photovoltaic cells. The number one choice in safety and regulatory adherence would be the use of Solar Wire.
Solar Wire ™
Solar Wire ™ is manufactured specifically for Photovoltaic Industry and your solar projects to be in compliance with the National Electric Code (NEC) and Underwriter’s Laboratories Listed (UL listed). Solar Wire™ is designed for in roof, in ground and control panel applications and is heat resistant to withstand high heat without melting. Solar wire is UL listed and meets the UL safety regulations in being flame resistant. Solar wire is insulation wrapped in polyethylene (XLPE) of the highest quality.
Solar Wire ™ is UV and Ozone resistant meaning that it will not be damaged by excessive ultra violet exposure (UV rays from sunlight) or by the natural occurring ozone of the earths atmosphere. Ozone is nature’s oxidizer. Ozone as nature’s oxidizer promotes decomposition of fallen leaves and foliage, animal carcasses, and helps to purify waters. Ozone is earths cleaner but it also decomposes or oxidizes all things left in the elements. Solar Wire ™ is constructed for resilience against the oxidizing properties of ozone leaving you feeling safe and secure in your decision to use it versus another wire product not designed for photovoltaic use.
Custom Wire
There are custom wires and cables available to meet your needs and ensure the longevity and safety of your “go Green” solar project. For more info please Visit : www.philatron.com
