It has become common knowledge that one day the petroleum, coal and any similar non-renewable energy resources will run out. Thus we are gradually looking for more green energy. In fact, Nature blesses humanity with a lot of resources, e.g. the sunshine, the wind, the tide.
In recent years, as the main energy “gas & petroleum” supply has become kinda unstable and cost increases so much that the solar energy is developing widely and faster. Solar energy is formally described as solar photovoltaic (PV) system, also known as photovoltaics, being an efficient system that converts solar radiation into electrical energy using PV cells (solar panels). PV system is usually installed on rooftops or vast plain lands. Being outdoor poses potential damage from sun heat, weathering, rain, ozone, and UV rays. The PV system is designed for outdoor, however, not all the components hold a long lifespan at outdoor conditions. MC4 connector is one of the necessary components for the PV system. Improper installation, poor module connections and outdoor aging of modules can result in high temperatures and potential self-ignition of MC4 connectors.
Hantai Solutions
To mitigate the risk of accidents caused by high temperature and self-ignition, Hantai offers high temperature fire resistant sleeve (widely known as fire sleeve) as protection for MC4 connectors.
Hantai fire sleeve is constructed by coating high quality silicone rubber onto braided glass fiber sleeve. Both materials are good resistance against high temperature & heat. Moreover, silicone rubber is an excellent material to prolong the connectors’ lifespan against damage caused by weathering, raining, ozone and UV rays.
Regularly, Hantai offers fire sleeves in rolls or coils. We have been focused on our business and have gradually expanded to diverse services. Hantai can customize individual lengths to make the fire sleeves ready-to-use items, keeping customers free from cutting worries.
To reduce the sharp color difference between a typical firesleeve in iron oxide red and MC4 connectors in black color, Hantai offers custom colors as well. We could supply the firesleeve in black color.
More than 130 countries have committed to achieving carbon neutrality. Solar energy is definitely one of the key directions & solutions. Hantai fire sleeve is working to assist the solar PV system. We take pride in it. A green world is made by numerous contributions from each one of us. Big or small, our participation matters.
