WAACAB is developing advanced solar DC cables for extreme conditions

The climatic conditions in India are challenging, so WAACAB is reshaping solar connectivity in the country with advanced cables, connectors, and power distribution solutions specifically designed for these conditions. Backed by global certifications and continuous R&D, the company is redefining innovation in reliability, safety, and sustainability to empower EPCs, developers, and utilities, helping to deliver efficient, future-ready renewable energy projects at scale. Satyam Khamar shares insights of the company with EPR.

How is WAACAB ensuring durability in India's extreme climatic conditions?

At WAACAB, we have focused on developing solar DC cables with enhanced UV resistance, higher temperature tolerance, and improved flame-retardant properties. These features help cables to withstand the diverse and often extreme Indian climatic conditions. Our cables are certified to EN 50618:2014 and IEC standards, ensuring compliance with international quality benchmarks. On the connectivity side, our MC4 and solar branch connectors have been upgraded with low contact resistance, IP67 & IP68 protection, and anti-ageing insulation. This guarantees safe and long-lasting performance in dusty, humid, and high-temperature environments commonly seen across solar plants in India.
