The invention provides a halogen-free flame retardant insulation material used for a photovoltaic cable, which belongs to a novel cable material technical field and solves the problems exiting in the present halogen-free flame retardant insulation material used for the photovoltaic cable, that is, poor mechanical properties of tensile strength, elongation break and the like, poor heat aging property, shorter service life, and the like. The halogen-free flame retardant insulation material used for the photovoltaic cable comprises the following components according to a weight ratio: a 100 proportion of base material, 8-35 proportion of flame retardant, 2-8 proportion of stabilizer, and 1-10 proportion of crosslinking sensitizer. The halogen-free flame retardant insulation material used for the photovoltaic cable has the advantages of low production cost, good mechanical properties as heat aging property, tensile strength, elongation break and the like, long service life, low temperature tolerance, ozone resistance, weather resistance, direct current voltage resistance, and dynamic penetration resistance, etc.
