Solar PV cable buyers in Louisiana
Louisiana's solar build-out has put a new kind of surplus in circulation: PV wire bought by the pallet for a project that changed shape.

Sell solar pv cable in Louisiana
Solar PV cable is a 1 kV or 2 kV direct-current conductor with a sunlight-resistant, cross-linked insulation, usually dual- or triple-rated as PV Wire, USE-2 and RHW-2. It is run exposed on racking, in conduit, and underground between arrays and inverters.
- Construction, size and footage, not weight alone
- Reel tags and jacket print travel with the lot
- Pickup planned around your site, not ours

What this family covers 02
Solar PV cable we review in Louisiana
Utility-scale and commercial projects buy it in pallet quantities, often in fixed 1,000-foot or 2,500-foot reels. When a project is resized or a contractor demobilises, the balance is often still sealed — which makes it one of the cleaner surplus lots in the state.
Identification 03
What identifies solar pv cable
The facts that decide how a lot is read. Send what the reel says rather than a description from memory.
| Voltage rating | 1 kV and 2 kV DC; 600 V versions exist for some indoor work |
|---|---|
| Ratings | PV Wire, USE-2, RHW-2, often triple-printed on one jacket |
| Sizes we see | 10 AWG and 8 AWG most common; 6 AWG and 4 AWG in larger arrays |
| Conductor metal | Copper, tinned in many PV constructions; aluminium appears in MV collection cable |
| Condition markers | UV chalking, jacket scuffs, reel integrity, print legibility |
| What identifies it | Jacket print showing PV Wire and the voltage rating, reel label, and the project record |
If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown. A stated uncertainty is workable. A guess that turns out wrong costs everybody a second visit.
Constructions 04
Solar PV cable lots we buy
Read separately, because they are valued separately.
1 kV PV wire
The standard DC string conductor, usually tinned copper in 10 or 8 AWG, reviewed on footage and print.
2 kV PV wire
Higher-rated conductor for longer strings and larger systems, read with the voltage rating stated up front.
MV collection cable
15 kV and 25 kV feeder cable from array to substation, reviewed with the medium voltage family.
Sealed pallet quantities
Unopened reels from a demobilised project. The best version of this lot and worth documenting properly.
How a lot is read 05
How solar pv cable is evaluated
PV cable is read on rating, gauge and print. The triple rating is the commercial point: conductor that can be installed as PV Wire, USE-2 and RHW-2 has the widest set of buyers, and the print proves it.
Tinned versus bare copper is the next distinction, then footage and reel condition. Sun exposure is normal for installed PV cable but not for stored reels, so storage is asked about directly.
Safety first. PV arrays produce DC voltage whenever they are illuminated, and there is no single upstream disconnect that makes a string safe. Array work belongs to qualified solar personnel.

Questions —
Solar PV cable questions
Do you buy used PV cable from an operating array?
Cable removed from service is reviewed as used material with the removal described. It is usually a recovery lot rather than a reuse lot, because testing and re-certification are not something a seller can provide.
What size is most useful?
10 AWG and 8 AWG tinned copper in sealed reels. Larger sizes and MV collection cable are reviewed on their own terms.
Is 2 kV PV wire handled differently?
The rating is stated up front and the lot is reviewed with the higher voltage class in mind. It is not mixed with 1 kV stock in a single description.
Can PV cable be sold with connectors?
Connectors are a separate item. Cable is reviewed on conductor, and connectors are noted rather than priced into the cable lot.
