Are you planning to install solar panels on your home in the near future?

If so, please take a look at several different solar wire options Wire And Cable Your Way has to offer.

Below is a list of popular wires people use for solar applications.



1. THHN/THWN-2

2. RHH-RHW-2 (USE-2 Solar Wire)

3. Solar PV Wire

4.   Tray Cable (THHN-PVC)

Our customer Rich in Texas used our 12/4 Tray Cable (THHN-PVC) to help install solar panels seen in the picture above.

Here is what Rich had to say:
This is a 17kW solar array -- 68 250W panels w/ Enphase inverters that I installed myself over a two month period. Panel strings are connected using Wire & Cable To Go #12 TC-ER field cable.  The system is expected to generate 24,000 kWh a year and reduce our carbon impact by 35K pounds a year. – Richard Boller
