Solar cable black 100m 6mm² IEC62930 – SOLS6100 for high-performance PV systems
Description
Product information
The solar cable SOLS6100 (100 metres, 6mm²) in black is the professional solution for photovoltaic installations where maximum efficiency and minimal resistance are paramount. With a length of 100 metres on a reel and a reinforced cross-section of 6mm², this cable is excellent for large roof systems, open-area projects or systems with high currents. The black identification enables standard-compliant identification of the negative pole (-) and ensures clearly arranged cabling.
Certified in accordance with the international standard IEC 62930, this cable offers maximum safety for modern PV systems with voltages of up to 1500V DC. The larger cross-section minimises voltage losses even over long distances and is ideal for high-performance module generations delivering high currents.
Highlights at a glance
- Maximum efficiency: The 6mm² cross-section significantly reduces the electrical resistance and provides more yield compared to standard cables.
- Certified safety: Complies with IEC 62930 (H1Z2Z2-K) standard for use in photovoltaic systems up to 1500V DC.
- Long range: 100 metres in one piece enable custom cuts for tailor-made string connections without unnecessary separation points.
- Extremely resistant: The high-quality XLPO double insulation is UV-resistant, ozone-resistant and flame-retardant for a lifespan of more than 25 years.
- Corrosion-protected conductor: Fine-stranded, tinned copper offers permanently optimum conductivity and protects against oxidation in a damp environment.
- Wide temperature range: Safe operation in extreme weather conditions from -40°C to +90°C (short-term peaks up to +120°C).
Areas of application
The SOLS6100 is the number one choice for demanding PV projects:
- Large roof systems & PV parks
- Efficient string cabling and connection of distant module fields to the central inverter.
- High-performance balcony power plants
- Ideal for systems with modern modules (500Wp+), to ensure the loss-free transport of high currents.
- Battery storage & stand-alone systems
- Perfect for 24V or 48V systems where low voltage drops are crucial for charging efficiency.
Assembly & safety instructions
- Professional connections
- For this cross-section, use only MC4 connectors that are explicitly approved for 6mm² cable, and use high-quality crimping pliers.
- Mechanical protection
- When laying on the roof or through walls, use corrugated ducts or cable ducts to protect the insulation from mechanical abrasion and rodent bites.
- Parallel cable routing
- Route the black negative cable as parallel and close as possible to the red positive cable to minimise electromagnetic interference fields (induction loops).

FAQs about solar cable black 100m 6mm²
Why should I choose 6mm² instead of 4mm²?
For more yield and future-proofing.
- Especially for cable lengths above 15–20 metres or when using modules with high current (Isc above 13A), voltage drop is noticeably lower with 6mm². This means more energy reaches the inverter and the cable stays cooler under high load.
Can the cable be laid directly in the ground?
Only in protective conduit.
- Although the insulation is very robust, the cable is not designed for direct burial without protection. Installation in a suitable cable conduit in the ground, however, is no problem.
Is the cable resistant to chemicals?
Yes.
- The XLPO insulation is resistant to acids, alkalis and ammonia. This makes it particularly suitable for agricultural (stables) or industrially impacted areas.
