Amphenol RadCrimp Solar Splice User Guide
BACKGROUND
As solar power generation grows world-wide, medium to large-scale industrial and commercial installations of photovoltaic modules must now be compliant with several national and regional electrical and mechanical safety standards, and be cost-effective in order to be viable in the marketplace.
PROBLEM
Due to the wide selection of DC interconnect solutions and choices available
in the PV market, mating of different manufacturers, and poor crimping of PV
connectors is a major problem. Along with the need to replace aging connectors
with a quick and cost effective solution.
