Description
8 AWG PV Wire 2000V UL4703 – 500ft Black | Made in USA
Improve the performance and reliability of your solar installations with our 8 AWG PV Wire UL4703 rated for 2000V, available in a 500 ft reel ideal for residential and small commercial solar projects.
Because photovoltaic systems often require reliable DC wiring between modules, combiners, and inverters, this 8 AWG photovoltaic cable delivers excellent electrical conductivity and long-term outdoor durability.
Moreover, the stranded copper conductor and XLPE insulation provide superior resistance to sunlight, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions. As a result, installers can achieve dependable electrical performance in demanding solar installations.
Key Features of 8 AWG PV Wire
2000V Voltage Rating
This photovoltaic cable is rated for 2000 volts, which provides additional safety margin for modern solar systems operating up to 1500V DC.
High-Conductivity Copper Conductor
The 8 AWG stranded copper conductor ensures excellent conductivity and flexibility. Consequently, installers can maintain efficient power transmission across solar arrays.
UL4703 Certified Solar Cable
This cable complies with key photovoltaic installation standards:
-
UL 4703
-
USE-2
-
RHH/RHW-2
Therefore, it meets NEC requirements for photovoltaic systems.
Convenient 500 ft Reel
The 500 ft reel format is ideal for installers working on residential and small commercial solar systems. Because the cable comes on a manageable reel, it simplifies transportation and installation on-site.
Wide Temperature Range
This PV wire operates reliably from −40°C to +90°C (wet and dry), making it suitable for diverse outdoor solar environments.
Reduce Voltage Drop with 8 AWG PV Wire
Selecting the correct cable size is critical for maintaining system efficiency. For this reason, 8 AWG PV wire is an excellent choice for reducing voltage drop during medium and long DC runs.
Because larger conductors reduce electrical resistance, installers can:
-
Minimize voltage drop across cable runs
-
Improve overall solar system efficiency
-
Deliver more energy from panels to inverters
As a result, solar installations operate more efficiently and produce greater energy output.
Built for Outdoor Solar Environments
This 8 AWG photovoltaic cable uses cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, which provides excellent resistance to:
-
UV radiation
-
Moisture
-
Ozone
-
Abrasion
Consequently, the cable maintains long service life and reliable performance in outdoor photovoltaic installations.
