[0002] Photovoltaic systems primarily convert solar energy into electrical energy through solar panels, and cables play a crucial role in the entire system. They are responsible for efficiently and stably transmitting the direct current generated by the solar panels to various components such as inverters, energy storage devices, and the power grid, making them key connection components ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic system. Their performance directly affects the power generation efficiency, stability, and lifespan of the photovoltaic system.

[0003] However, existing cables used in photovoltaic systems have many defects. In terms of protection performance, some cables have unreasonable protective structure designs that cannot effectively resist external electromagnetic interference. This not only affects the quality of the power transmitted by the cable itself, but may also interfere with the normal operation of other surrounding electronic equipment.
