What is a PV connector?

PV connectors are integral to every solar project: they are the links through which DC solar power is transmitted from PV modules through cables into inverters. For a system to produce AC power safely and reliably, connectors must: Provide low-resistance connections that minimize resistive losses as electricity flows through the array.

How do RADOX Solar connectors work?

Radox solar connectors are locked and unlocked by a screwing mechanism. You plug the male and female solar connectors until there is a 2 mm breach between them, then you screw them together. To disconnect them, you perform the opposite process. Solar connectors can be used to connect solar panels in series, parallel, or series-parallel.

Why should you choose Stäubli PV connectors?

Constantly low contact resistance of the PV connectors is key for efficient operation and safe energy feed-in. Increasing contact resistance, e. g. due to deficient material characteristics, can weaken the efficiency of the entire PV system. The core of the Stäubli PV connectors is the innovative MULTILAM contact technology.

What is a low-resistance PV connector?

Provide low-resistance connections that minimize resistive losses as electricity flows through the array. Withstand 25+ years of environmental exposure with minimal corrosion, degradation or current leakage. However, the industry lacks a universal standard for PV connector design.

Why should you choose Solarlok connectors?

For more than 40 years, our SOLARLOK range of connectors provides simple, fast, and reliable connections, from photovoltaic modules with different insulation diameters to DC/AC converters. They can be used in multiple applications including residential, utility-scale solar plants, commercial and building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV).

Should a solar PV connector be inspected?

The humble PV connector should be prioritized by researchers precisely because it is easy to overlook in the field. With the right technology, connector inspections can become a standard operating procedure for solar PV systems instead of a reactive response to obvious signs of failure.
