Gas station encounter photovoltaic: photovoltaic connector solutions

Photovoltaic power generation, as a clean energy, is resonating with the trend of global environmental protection and sustainable development. Installing a solar photovoltaic system on the roof of a gas station can not only make full use of the undeveloped roof space, but also effectively reduce electricity costs and reduce operating costs through photovoltaic power generation.

However, new opportunities often come with new challenges. The gas station environment is special, often oil steam, dust, high temperature, humidity and ultraviolet irradiation and other special scenes, which have high safety requirements. The QC4.10-Mate connector, verified by a series of class combinations, is suitable for such scenarios.

The QC4.10-Mate connector uses polyamide 66 (PA66), which has excellent wear resistance, self-lubrication, heat resistance and mechanical strength. Its features are derived from the amide group in the molecular structure, giving excellent wear resistance, self-lubrication and chemical corrosion resistance, resistant to acid, alkali, inorganic salt aqueous solution and other chemical substances, but easily soluble in phenol, formic acid and other polar solvents, can provide lasting protection and performance support in gasoline-resistant environments.

The connection Pin is a key component for the connector to transmit current, and contact resistance and connection stability are critical. QC4.10-Mate connector metal parts adopt stamping integrated molding design of QC Solar, the pin and the sleeve contact directly, the concave structure makes the sleeve have radial compression elastic to the pin, excellent micromotion protection, maintain a constant low resistance during the life cycle, achieve "0 contact resistance", reduce energy loss.

QC4.10-Mate connector has passed IEC62852 and UL4703 test and verification, rated voltage up to 2000V, with 4 square cable rated current 46A. The connector has passed the temperature impact test of -40 ° C ~ +85 ° C, ensuring good connection performance in both high and low temperature environments. At the same time, it has also passed the test of ultraviolet and high temperature and humidity environment, even if it is exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time or in a high temperature and high humidity environment, it can still maintain good insulation resistance.

In terms of safe use, the connector has an anti-shock function before insertion, eliminating potential risks during use, making it safer; After insertion, it meets the IP68 protection level, effectively blocks the entry of dust and water vapor, and can also transmit current stably in the environment such as wind sand, rainstorm or blizzard. In terms of installation and maintenance, plug and play is realized, convenient and fast, and the design is to unlock the tool, and the positive and negative electrodes cannot be separated by hand, which can effectively avoid misoperation by non-professional person.

Gas station rooftop photovoltaic systems not only represent the forefront of energy transformation, but also a key step in promoting the development of a green economy. With its unique advantages, the QC4.10-Mate connector solution of QC Solar provides solid technical support for this transformation. By improving system efficiency, ensuring safe operation, reducing maintenance costs, and enhancing environmental adaptability, it has become the ideal choice for gas station rooftop PV projects.
