PV inverters have an IP65 protection rating, which means that they are suitable for outdoor use. A proven product for labeling them are 0.8 mm thick flexible foam backed labels. The surface of the inverter is often uneven, so the plate material cannot be too rigid. Thermal print guarantees text durability and legibility for a very long time. The label can include the device number, graphics, company logo and an EAN or QR code.

Partex has a special tool for crimping solar connectors. This tool has a ratchet mechanism and is designed for crimping MC3 and MC4 solar connectors onto cables with a cross section of 14 - 10 AWG.

The installation of a photovoltaic system is a long-term investment, with an assumed service life of roughly 25 years. Markers on the cables connecting PV panels should be resistant to UV radiation, mold, water and material ageing. If you don't have a marker printer, you can order finished printed markers from us. Such markers will remain legible for many years.

Temperature limits for solar panels can range from -90°F to 240°F. Partex labels for marking solar panels withstand temperatures up to 300°F. You can produce them on site using our thermal printer or have us prepare finished labels for you.
