Tyco launches solar website

3 February 2010 News

A new website was recently launched by Tyco Electronics specifically for its product offering for the solar and photovoltaic industry. Under the new landing page www.tycoelectronics.com/solar customers can find industry related information on junction boxes, cable couplers, combiner boxes, solar cables, grounding solutions and identification labels.

Tyco’s SOLARLOK product portfolio delivers a flexible solution for the interconnection of crystalline and thin-film modules used in rack-mounted, shingle, tile or BIPV applications. The products are UL approved to UL 1703, UL 1741, UL 4703, UL 854, and UL 467 as applicable, in addition to TÜV testing to the VDE V 0126 standard.

Solar junction boxes meet the requirements for IEC 61215 ed. 2 without the need for additional potting materials. Foil termination is easy to use; no foil welding, soldering or screwing for termination is required. The solar wiring connectors utilise latching systems including an optional solar safety clip that meet the needs for NEC 2008. Tyco also produces its own dual rated, universal style solar wire (UL 4703 & TÜV ZHSCG). For labelling needs, the company offers standard and custom solar/warning labels that are rated up to 30 years of sunlight exposure.
