Both use a cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation rated at either 600V or 1,000/2,000V, and both are flame retardant, sunlight, oil, and gasoline resistant, and direct burial rated. However, the two wires differ in their conductive properties, as aluminum is only 61% as conductive. . For UL 4703 Photovoltaic (PV) Wire, you have two primary choices for conductor material: Copper and Aluminum. While Copper has been the industry standard for decades, 8000-series Aluminum is rapidly gaining ground in large-scale projects. There are two types of conductors used in PV wire — aluminum and copper. While both aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) conductors are used within the PV wire industry, their. . With copper and aluminum tubes emerging as the two primary contenders, how do you determine which one is best suited to your needs? Cables weave interconnections and assist in carrying high voltages for solar panels; this article focuses on imparting necessary comparisons between the two to assist. . Copper is a scarce metal with high and volatile market prices. Aluminum, on the other hand, costs roughly one-third of copper per unit weight. While both are of excellent quality when purchased from a reputable seller, there are many disputes in the. .
