New website from Tyco Electronics displays product offering for photovoltaic industry

As a leading manufacturer of electronic components and solutions for alternative energy, Tyco Electronics’ product portfolio for the photovoltaic industry is constantly growing and is backed by the company’s research, engineering and test capabilities.
Tyco Electronics’ SOLARLOK product portfolio for example delivers a flexible solution for the interconnection of crystalline and thin-film modules used in rack mounted, shingle, tile, or BIPV applications. The products are UL approved to UL 1703, UL 1741, UL 4703, UL 854, and UL 467 as applicable, in addition to TÜV testing to the VDE V 0126 standard.

Solar junction boxes meet the requirements for IEC 61215 ed. 2 without the need of additional potting materials. Foil termination is simple and easy to use; no foil welding, soldering, or screwing for termination is required. The solar wiring connectors utilize latching systems including an optional solar safety clip that meet the needs for NEC 2008. Tyco Electronics also produces its own dual rated, universal style solar wire (UL 4703 & TÜV ZHSCG) as well as a USE-2 solar wire for the American market. For labelling needs, the company offers standard and custom solar/warning labels that are rated up to 30 years of sun-light exposure.
