1 Our confession to the solar technology The shortage of fossil com - bust ibles worldwide, the adoption of the Renewable-Energy-Bill EEG and finally also the positive atti tude of users and consumers re gard ing the environmentally comp atible energy generation ini tiated in the last few years an enorm ous boom in the photovoltaic industry. Nothing is more environment-friendly than receiving energy directly from the sun. This is our confession to the solar technology. Siegbert Lapp Chairman technical management board. As an environmental-orientated com pany and one of the leading supp liers for the wind and solar industry, Lapp Kabel also wants to take part in this trend. In July 2005 the new photovoltaic plant on the roof of the logistic centrum 1 of the company headquarter in Stuttgart was inaugurated. With this we want to express our philosophy and to promote the rethinking regarding renewable energies. The key data speak for themselves! The 1092 solar modules which are installed on a roof area of m 2 have an output of 168 kwp and nearly kwh of energy per year. Additionally the annual saving of toxic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) amounts to approximately kg. All PV-components are connected and installed with Lapp products like SKINTOP cable glands, EPIC connectors, SILVYN conduits and LAPPTHERM SOLAR cables a longtime use and a safe function of the photovoltaic plant is guaranteed at any season. Clear solutions around the solar panel! On the following pages we want to introduce products which were especially developed in co-operation with users from the photovoltaic branch. Let it be weather resistant cable installations, safe cable entries or the interconnection of single solar modules the brands ÖLFLEX SKINTOP EPIC LAPPTHERM SILVYN and FLEXIMARK from Lapp Kabel offer solutions for all applications from the roof down to the basement. 5

13 New methods in the cabling of solar systems EPIC SOLAR cabling system EPIC SOLAR is a new cabling system, optimized for the requirements of photovoltaic technology. EPIC SOLAR is available as a pre-assembled and industrial injection moulded cord set with connector. It s rugged and durable and available in numberous variations. The field mountable connect ors are optimized for the requirements of the installers. Simple assembly, two manageable parts minimize the possibility of mistakes in the field and the breakdown of the system. Equipped with a SKINTOP cable gland, which has proven its resistance for many years in millions of applications, EPIC SOLAR is the optimal solution in Photovoltaic-Systems. Built in sockets, Y- Splitter, LAPPTHERM SOLAR cables, SILVYN cable conduits and FLEXIMARK marking systems completes the cabling system. EPIC SOLAR is quickly plugged together, fast and easy, catch hooks lock the connector reliably. Based on a new turning mechanism, the connector can be unlocked by an easy turn. Unintentional interruption of the power generation is prevented in this way. The EPIC SOLAR cabling system is continuously extended, new customer needs will become implemented. International standards EPIC SOLAR has been developed according the latest international standards. The user s safety is the main concern. Touch protection class II and the safety requirements for connectors according IEC 61984, as well as special requirements for photovoltaic systems according DIN VDE are considered to the full extent. Requirements for the use in photovoltaic systems like IEC 61215, IEC and UL 1977 and UL 1703 are complied with accordingly. The conformity to these standards will be confirmed by TÜV Rheinland and the American UL (Underwriter Laboratories Inc.). 17

14 EPIC SOLAR cabling system pre-assembled Solar modules are provided with pre-assembled cord sets for a fast safety and easy assembly on site. EPIC SOLAR is a cabling system produced by an industrial injection moulding process. The cord sets are over moulded with plastics, absolutely leak proof, rugged and unseparable. Moisture has no chance to penetrate the connection and to affect the efficiency of the solar system by increasing contact resistance. The choice of best plastics with excellent UV resistance, a high degree of weatherproofing and resistance to a wide range of environmental influences makes EPIC SOLAR extremely rugged in outdoor use The industrial injection over moulding technique permanently connects to the cable. The connector is forever inseparable and permanently connected to the cable Two symmetrical catch eyes engage clearly. They hold EPIC SOLAR together, protecting against unintentional opening. The connector is unplugged easily by a clockwise rotation Many small contact lamellas provide for the best electrical connection with lowest transfer resistance and thus a high plant efficiency. All cord sets are tested. This ensures the lowest transfer resistance for maximum power transmission and a high efficiency of the power plant The sealing concept and the production technology offer the maximum dirt and water protection 18

16 EPIC SOLAR cabling system field mountable With the EPIC SOLAR field mountable connector the LAPP group technical designers developed a system which is proven its stability and robustness for many years in millions of applications. The connector consists of two pre-mounted components. It will be crimped on the solar cable and the appropriate SKINTOP gland screwed down. The sealing is pressed strongly against the cable and the lamella claw keeps the cable also with traction force in the connector. The weather and UV resistance plastic materials are optimally suitable for external use in solar plants. Assembly steps 1. Insert the EPIC SOLAR connector into the locator. The product is kept safe in the crimping tool. 2. Feed in the stripped LAPPTHERM SOLAR or similar cable type into the preassembled contact. 3. Press the crimping tool completely together to unlock the crimp mechanism. Take out the connector. 4. Fast screw the second component, the SKINTOP neck. 5. Fast screw the cap nut for cable sealing. Now the EPIC SOLAR connector is ready assembled for the durable transfer of Energy. Product advantages The choice of best plastics with excellent UV resistance, a high degree of weatherproofing and resistance to a wide range of environmental influences makes EPIC SOLAR extremely rugged in outdoor use. The sealing concept combined with a SKINTOP cable gland offers the maximum dirt and water protection IP68. The lamella claws of the SKINTOP gland offers the highest strain relief for a safe operation in the sun and also in addition with rain and storms. The pre-assembly of the EPIC SOLAR connector reduces assembly errors by forgotten, lost or wrongly selected components. Two symmetrical catch eyes engage clearly. They hold EPIC SOLAR together, protecting against unintentional opening. The connector is unplugged easily by a clockwise rotation. Many small contact lamellas provide for the best electrical connection with lowest transfer resistance and thus a high plant efficiency. 20
