How Solar Conduit Is Installed?

Solar conduit is a type of raceway or closed channel that protects wiring systems running through them. It protects against any hazard and guards the system throughout the lifetime. 

Installing this equipment, the wire is pulled through the tubing and passed through walls, within driveways, protected by the exterior and interior of the house. Overall the conduits protect wires running through underground, walls, roof, and downside of the house. 

The installation requires the length measurement, cutting, threading, and bending it to make suitable for a given project. It is followed by the installation of fittings and supports, shielding the conduit into place and placing couplings and connecters, joining with outlet boxes, pulling the wire the through the tubing and securing the connections. 

In the installation, all pieces are connected with a conduit body. It acts as a junction box that is used in between joining the conduit pieces which keeps the number of bends at a minimized level. Its function is important as electric codes needed you to limit your total bends for one piece to 360 degrees and under. 

You can only pull the wire and make final connections with photovoltaic components when the complete installation is complete. 

If you require a plastic profile and extrusions, feel free to connect with the leading plastic extrusion company in your city and areas nearby. You can get in touch through the contact details as provided on the official website. You can also visit in person and specify your requirements.

Important Factors That Decide The Conduit Type For The Power System

Solar conduit is a structure through which wires run, from the solar panel into house. They generally run on the exterior of the house. They can be painted to match the colour of the walls, in few cases they pipes can be drop from attics so that they are not visible to anyone.  It is also possible to hide them inside walls, which can be expensive while installation and for maintenance.  

Experts suggest that it is very important to select the correct type of conduit because, in the absence of a conduit, the protection for the cable would be compromised, which could lead to downtime and inefficiency. The correct conduit would help to make the site safe for people and reduce the number of risks.  

The factors that decide if the conduit is suitable to include:

• Wire type
• Type of circuit
• Conduit size
• Designation of conduit
• Ambient temperature during sunlight exposure 

An experienced professional would first conduct a survey of the place. This would help in deciding cables that require protection, which is dependent on the circuit type of the types of hazards they are expected to face.

In general, they are commonly used for circuits that leave the PV system, protecting wires that pass in the outdoor area, from combiners to inverters as well. The conduits are used indoors for distribution boards as well. 

Different type of conduits is required in different areas, mainly used for cable protection only. The performance of the conduit differs from location to location as well. It is always ideal to use conduits in all places, specified in the Buildings and Fire codes.
