1. Solar Power Solutions for Cable Ties

Generally speaking, on solar tracker systems, install wire management every 4 ft (1.2 m) or less along the torque tube or secured to the module frame. A properly installed PV system should require very little maintenance and have a lifetime of 20 plus years. A failed cable tie can lead to a downed wire and potential inverter ground faults. Considering regular wear and tear, extreme environments such as deserts, where temperatures can range from -20°F (-29°C) to 120°F (+49°C), can further stress materials.

Therefore, using Nylon 12 cable ties specially designed for solar system applications.

As for PA 12, it can withstand drastic temperature drops, even staying strong in below freezing periods. Overall, it is stiff, resistant to cracking, and demonstrated profound long-term quality. Although PA12 is more expensive than PA6 and PA66, it is the best choice for the solar photovoltaic industry.

2. Cable Tie Mounts for Solar Panel

Another thing that is easily overlooked when installing photovoltaic cables is the issue of using cable tie mounts. It is important to use the Cable Tie Mount to secure the cable and prevent the cable from shaking and bouncing all over the place. Adhesive back fixed function are designed for pasting on a wide range of surfaces, including plastics, woods, cement walls, and metals. This back sticker will hold it in place. Moreover, for strengthen the stability, drilling the screw is also a choice. The following explains how to use the adhesive cable tie mounts:

• First, you can tear off the sticker on the back of the cable tie mount by hand, and put the cable tie mount on a suitable place.
• Second, take a screw and pass it through the hole by hand in the middle of the bottom of the mount.
• Third, use an electric drill or screwdriver to tighten the screws.
• Fourth, pick up the cable tie and pass it through the hole at the bottom of the mount. There is a hole in each of the four directions of the mounting base. You can choose to pass from left to right, or from front to back.
• Finally, fasten the cable wires and the zip tie together, and it’s done!

There is another type of cable tie mount that is saddle-type. The difference between the saddle type mount and the adhesive-backed type is that there is no sticky sticker on the back. The saddle zip tie mounts are used for routing the wires and cables. It offers two wings with flat-head screws to provide additional support for the heavier cable bundles.

In this way, the cables and wires will be able to avoid loosening or damage easily due to frequent friction, which may affect the performance of the expensive module and electronic system. To know more about the high quality of solar panel mount, you can download our brochure.

Base plastics not designed for harsh environments can erode fast. Therefore, it is recommended to use PA 12 cable ties and related series products specially designed for the extreme weather event and solar energy industry. Besides, the solar series products have passed CE, REACH, RoHS, HF and other certifications. Hua Wei is your best supplier!
