TÜV 2PfG 2915/07.23 is a technical specification published by TÜV Rheinland, a globally recognized independent testing and certification body based in Germany. This standard specifically addresses the performance and safety requirements for aluminum photovoltaic (PV) cables used in solar power systems. As the global demand for cost-effective and lightweight alternatives to traditional copper conductors increases, aluminum PV cables are becoming more widely adopted—particularly in large-scale utility and ground-mounted solar installations.
The 2PfG 2915/07.23 standard provides detailed guidelines and test procedures to ensure that aluminum-core PV cables meet strict requirements in terms of electrical performance, mechanical durability, thermal stability, UV resistance, flame retardancy, and long-term operational reliability in harsh outdoor environments.
It includes evaluation of insulation and sheath materials (commonly cross-linked polyethylene or XLPE), conductor properties, and resistance to environmental stresses such as heat, cold, humidity, and sunlight exposure. The standard also defines tests such as:
· High-voltage withstand tests
· Aging and weathering tests (UV + humidity + thermal cycles)
· Mechanical tests (tensile strength, elongation at break, etc.)
· Flame retardancy and fire behavior
· Conductor resistance and insulation resistance
Cables that comply with TÜV 2PfG 2915/07.23 are considered safe and suitable for long-term outdoor use in photovoltaic systems, and demonstrate excellent compatibility with aluminum conductors—helping reduce system cost without compromising safety or performance.
This certification also helps manufacturers access global markets, especially in regions with stringent safety and quality requirements, such as Europe, North America, and parts of Asia.
