TEMCo Industrial 10 AWG Solar PV Wire 100 ft Black — Bare Copper, XLPE Insulation, 600 VDC

TEMCo Industrial 10 AWG Solar PV Wire is a 100‑foot length of 19‑strand bare copper PV cable with XLPE insulation, built in the USA for rooftop and ground‑mounted solar arrays rated up to 600 VDC.

Designed for photovoltaic installations that demand durable, electrically efficient conductors, this 10 AWG PV wire combines flexible multi‑strand pure copper with weather‑resistant XLPE insulation. It carries industry certifications for PV use, supports direct burial, and is sized for common solar string and combiner applications while meeting thermal and current handling expectations for a wide range of climates.

How does this wire perform in outdoor solar installations?

The XLPE jacket resists sunlight, moisture, and temperature extremes so the conductor maintains integrity over years of exposure. Rated for direct burial and tested to the UL 4703 PV wire standard, it handles the electrical and environmental demands typical of rooftop and ground‑mounted arrays.

• UV‑stable XLPE insulation for prolonged outdoor exposure
• Direct burial rating avoids additional conduit in many runs
• Temperature range -40°C to 90°C for varied climates
• 600 VDC rating matches most residential and small commercial strings

What electrical capacity and size can I expect from 10 AWG PV wire?

This 10 AWG conductor is built from 19 strands of pure copper, balancing flexibility and low resistance for efficient DC collection. It’s specified for up to 50 amps and a 600 VDC system voltage, making it suitable for many mid‑sized arrays and combiner feed runs.

• 19‑strand bare copper construction for reliable conductivity
• 50 amp current rating for typical string and feeder uses
• 600 VDC system voltage compatibility for most PV circuits
• Nominal outside diameter 0.230 in for conduit and clamp planning

How easy is this wire to handle and install?

The multi‑strand copper core improves bendability compared with solid conductors, easing routing around panels and through trays. With approximately 17.54 feet per pound, installers can estimate weight for lifts and runs, and the standard 100‑foot spool limits waste on common layouts.

• Flexible 19‑strand design reduces fatigue during bending and termination
• 100 ft length suits typical row‑to‑inverter distances and reduces joins
• Lightweight metric (feet per pound) helps plan lifts and cable management
• Fits common MC4 connectors and PV terminals when stripped correctly

Which certifications and materials ensure long‑term reliability?

The cable meets the UL 4703 photovoltaic wire standard and uses cross‑linked polyethylene insulation, a material chosen for mechanical strength and weather resistance. There are no copper‑clad aluminum conductors (CCA) in this product — it’s pure copper to maintain consistent electrical performance over time.

• UL 4703 certified for photovoltaic applications
• XLPE insulation for thermal and environmental durability
• Pure copper (no CCA) for lower resistance and dependable connections
• Direct burial rating for flexible installation methods

Who is this for? Installers, electricians, and DIY solar builders who need a dependable 10 AWG PV conductor for residential or light commercial arrays will appreciate this TEMCo Industrial cable. Choose this 100‑foot spool when you want a made‑in‑USA, UL‑listed, flexible bare‑copper solar wire that supports direct burial and handles typical PV voltages and currents without resorting to aluminum or CCA alternatives.
