Cable management is an essential part of a multitude of commercial and industrial settings as with the use of innovative technology comes miles and miles of cabling. Trenching or burying cables has been the port of call for many solar farms but as the amount of ground mounted equipment grows, this process can come with a range of disadvantages. Failing to protect other cabling can also present a number of issues for solar energy companies

Why is cable care important?
As cables and connectors are essential to solar photovoltaics (PV) products ensuring you exercise excellent management and care should form an integral part of how you do business. Without cable management you will quickly find that productivity will be affected, and the systems you have invested in function poorly. Poor cable management can cause system shortages and ultimately shorten the lifespan of solar equipment, whilst loose cabling can be pulled out or tripped over presenting a number of health and safety hazards.
Harsh weather conditions can also lead to an array of issues with poorly managed cabling, with temperature fluctuations, direct exposure to UV light, water contact and even snow cover having the potential to damage unprotected wiring.
