High Performance and Sustainable Cable Management Solutions for Your AgriVoltaic Projects

Elevated structures, daily tracker movement, and hazards like crop‑protection chemicals demand robust, low‑maintenance solutions.

Products from HellermannTyton are designed to stand up to the harsh environmental conditions of solar installations and that will last the lifetime of your installation and optimise OPEX (Operating Expenses).

Why choose Hellermanntyton products for Agri Photovoltaic installation?

• very durable products, most are made of Polyamide 11   
• highly UV- and weather resistant
• very low hygroscopic (does not dry out and takes in very little humidity when plants are watered)
• resistance to chemicals (crops are sprayed with protection chemicals and exposure to ammonia on animal barn exhausts)

Why Polyamide 11 (PA11)?

Choosing bio‑based PA11 supports sustainability goals and can improve the project’s carbon footprint.

This cost-effective polymer is derived from castor oil, a renewable, plant-based resource,

that does not compete with land designated for growing food crops.

It also offers excellent resistance to a wide range of environmental conditions exceeding the performance of many other conventional plastics:

• UV stability
• low‑hygroscopic behavior—ideal for long service life and lower maintenance
• excellent salt (i.e. zinc chloride) and chemical g resistance - efficient solution for coastal regions, floating PV and agrivoltaic installations
• lower sensitivity to humidity, suitable for installation in very dry regions, such as deserts and water sprayed agrivoltaics
• has excellent temperature resistance and dimensional stability, coupled with high flexibility even at low temperatures

PA11 requires a higher initial investment because it is more expensive than many other polyamides, but
the return on investment over the long term makes it more cost-efficient than standard plastics unsuited to harsh conditions and needs less replacement cycles, ultimately not landing in the waste stream.

PA11 shifts the debate between metal and plastic squarely in favour of plastic, because wrongly applied metal parts are causing many issues with inverter grounding faults on the DC side in the field.

Furthermore, lower material density compared to metal results in less weight and resource savings due to less material weight being trucked to the installation site.
 

Our Edge clips made of PA 11 will help you properly manage solar cables. You can easily attach this retainer to your solar module frames in order to guide one or two DC cables into the holder by simply pressing them in.

Benefits:

• for one or two 4-6mm² solar cables
• made of sustainable PA11 material
• long-lasting product
• secure hold of the cables
• simple change of cables in case of maintenance
• for edges 1.0 - 3.0 mm

The QwicGrip mount attaches easily with a UV-stabilised cable tie or metal tie and securely holds two cables (Ø 5.2–8 mm/4-6mm²), which are simply pushed into place, speeding up installation while protecting the cables from strain and abrasion.

Benefits:

• quick and easy installation
• secure cable management and strain relief
• can be connected together for many applications
• minimize cable damage and safety hazards, ensuring reliable and long-lasting solar installations
• affordable upfront costs and reduced maintenance expenses over the products lifecycle
• reduce installation time, while optimizing project efficiency and labor costs

Our cable tie made from polyamide 11 (PA11) combine high tensile strength with sustainability.
The strength of PA11 makes this plastic tie a product of choice in a variety of solar installations,
especially when movement is a factor (e.g. trackers, temperature changes) and metal is not ideal.

Benefits:

• very good UV resistance and durability in outdoor applications
• stable technical performance even at very low temperatures
• high resistance to chemicals including zinc chlorides and plant protection
• low water absorption rate offers consistent technical performance

The SPC-DEC1-3SP holder, designed for MC4 and comparable solar connectors, prevents excessive cable bending and kinking. Embedding the solar connector into the holder, it helps protect connection integrity and reduce downtime over the system lifetime. With two integrated EdgeClips, the holder easily pushes on to standard aluminium profile edges from 1.0–3.0 mm. The solar connector can be removed and reattached for service access.
Benefits:

• simply push per hand onto a solar module edge
• connector easily installed by simply pushing into place
• connector can be released (non-destructive)
• integrated metal clamp holds clip firmly in place
• clamp consists of double tempered spring steel adding operation security by putting a defined distance between the solar connector and grounded metal
