Solar Cables, Connectors & BOS

Balance of system covers everything between the modules and the supply point — where quality quietly decides long-term safety and losses.

Solar DC cabling and connectors being installed on a rooftop array

What it is

BOS includes DC and AC cables, connectors, array junction boxes, cable management, earthing, lightning protection and surge protection. These items are rarely visible after commissioning, which is exactly why they need correct specification at design stage.

Where it is used

  • DC runs from array to inverter
  • AC runs from inverter to distribution board or panel
  • Array junction boxes and string combiner boxes
  • Earthing grids and lightning protection systems

Key specifications

DC cable
UV-resistant, double-insulated solar cable rated for the system DC voltage
Connectors
IP-rated PV connectors (MC4 type) crimped with the correct tooling
Cable sizing
Sized for current rating and voltage drop over the actual route length
Protection
DC and AC protection devices, surge protection at array and inverter side
Earthing
Separate earthing for module frames, structure and inverter as per design

Specifications and warranty

  • Cable sizes and protective device ratings are derived from the system design for your site, not from a generic kit list.
  • Routing uses conduit and tray with UV protection so that exposed cabling does not degrade over time.
