Description

Technical Field

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation refers to a new type of power generation technology that directly converts solar energy into electrical energy. With the accelerated transformation of the energy structure, photovoltaic power generation is experiencing a new round of rapid development, driven by increasing demand. Currently, many countries, such as Singapore and Japan, have floating array projects with ample water resources. The advantages of offshore photovoltaic power stations are that they do not occupy land area and can fully utilize the sea surface; the sea surface acts as a cooling and specular reflector for photovoltaic modules, and the radiation from the sea surface is not affected by topography, resulting in higher power generation than ground-based power stations; the location of offshore power stations is less dusty, easier to clean, and avoids problems caused by shading from weeds and other vegetation. However, existing photovoltaic cables are prone to damage during dragging, and the outer and inner sheaths are easily delaminated. Summary of the Invention

This metal braided layer is made of several metal wires, which not only improves the electromagnetic interference resistance of the cable, but also avoids delamination between the outer sheath layer and the inner sheath layer after long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the cable.

[0012] 2. The photovoltaic cable of this utility model has an outer sheath layer covering the outer surface of the inner sheath layer. The outer sheath layer has several cavities, the volume of which accounts for 40-60% of the volume of the outer sheath layer.
