Photovoltaic Connectors

Photovoltaic Connectors (PV Connectors) – Terminology Description

Photovoltaic connectors (PV connectors) are specialized electrical connectors used in solar power systems to connect solar panels, inverters, and charge controllers. They ensure a secure and weather-resistant connection for efficient energy transfer. The most common type is the MC4 (Multi-Contact 4mm) connector, which is widely used in modern solar installations due to its durability, ease of use, and ability to handle high voltage and current levels. Proper PV connectors help maintain system efficiency, reduce energy loss, and enhance the overall safety of a solar power system.
