Why PV1-F Fits the African Market

Heat, sun and dust are the real test. Double-layer protection and TÜV certification keep your array safe and online for 25 years.

Double-Layer Protection

Insulation plus outer sheath (XLPO/XLPE) resists cracking, UV and moisture for 25-year rooftop and ground-mount life.

TÜV 2 PfG 1169

Independently tested to the PV cable standard. The same cable trusted on solar projects worldwide.

90°C Heat & UV Resistant

Rated -40°C to +90°C with strong UV stability — performs from Saharan heat to highland mornings.

Dust & Humid-Proof

Tinned copper conductor and sealed compounds resist corrosion in dusty Sahel and coastal climates.

Off-Grid & Mini-Grid Ready

Flexible Class 5 conductor for home systems, village electrification and C&I solar.

OEM & Custom Length

Your brand, your reel size — single or twin core, 100m to 10km, with private-label packaging.
