Why is “Electron-Beam Cross-linking” (XLPO) essential for PV cables?

Unlike standard PVC, the insulation of solar cables (XLPO) undergoes electron-beam cross-linking. This process changes the molecular structure of the polymer from linear to a 3D network.

Result: The material will not melt or flow at high temperatures (up to 120°C for short periods) and provides exceptional resistance to the intense UV radiation found in solar farms, ensuring the cable does not become brittle over its 25-year lifespan.
