Solar farms are built in desolated, hot, and broad area. Solar farm projects are bidding based, using lots of same components, and pressed for time. Besides, building solar farms has to hire the recognized electricity workers and wearing the proper equipment for installation. Thus, the cost will be very sensitive for each part.

Solar farm system is built with many devices, such as solar panel, communication box, tracker, controller, and invertor etc... These devices usually will be connected via multiple cables and junction boxes.

One of world’s leading Solar farm system manufacturer corporates with Amphenol LTW and developed a convenient, flexible and cost effective solution for installation and maintenance. The trunk bus system is combined mainly by the trunk bus combiner box, the insulation piercing connector, the cable joiner and the end cap.

With the trunk bus system, it can help to save up to 50% less labor compare to use conventional jumper and whip installation and eliminates redundant jumper and harness wire within rows. Furthermore, with standardized parts and repeatable processes is benefit to reduces the field errors and facilitates equipment tracking and diagnostics with fewer unique components.

The custom cable joiner from Amphenol LTW provide the flexible cable joint, from 4/0 to 500 kcmil, able to splice with different materials, with IP67 protection and UL compliance for PV application. The Amphenol LTW end-cap can be used to protect the exposed cable first before further assembly in the field and it provide the same safety requirements of cable joiner.
Both are made from plastic body with rubber grommet. Offering a competitive cost compare to the conventional solution.

Except the solar farm application, Amphenol LTW’s custom cable joiner and end cap actually could be used in vary kind of market, as long as you will join a wide size range of the cable.
