Under PV panels, cables and fixation materials are continuously exposed to UV radiation, heat and movement.
Many PV installations are designed for installation speed, not for 25+ years of outdoor exposure.
UV-related damage develops silently and often becomes visible only years later, when failures, maintenance or rework are already unavoidable.

Use the check below to challenge whether your PV cable management is truly designed for long-term outdoor exposure.

Acknowledging long-term UV resistance is the first step. The remaining points highlight where design decisions made earlier may introduce long-term risk.

Short-term installation choices can lead to long-term consequences, such as:

These issues rarely originate from a single failure, but from cumulative material degradation over time.

Long-term UV-resistant cable management requires solutions that protect cables against UV radiation, abrasion and movement throughout the entire system lifetime.

Protective measures such as braided sleeving can help:

The key is to integrate cable protection into the design phase, rather than adding it as a corrective measure later.

Every installation is different. If you want to discuss the right cable protection approach for your application, our specialists are happy to help.
