Cabac Solar Clips: Reliable Cable Management for Solar Installations

As the renewable energy sector expands across Australia and New Zealand, efficient solar cable management is essential for safe, reliable, and long-lasting solar installations. Cabac, a market leader in electrical cable accessories, has introduced Solar Cable Clips tailored to meet the diverse needs of rooftop and large-scale solar projects. Here’s why Cabac Solar Clips are the ideal solution for your next installation.


Material Matters: Why 304 Stainless Steel?

Cabac Solar Clips are constructed from 304 stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. This material choice ensures that the clips perform reliably in harsh outdoor conditions, including areas with high humidity, salinity, or extreme weather. The robust nature of 304 stainless steel minimises maintenance requirements and extends the lifespan of solar installations, making it a trusted choice for engineers and electricians.


Configurations to Meet Every Need

The Cabac Solar Clips range is designed for versatility, offering three configurations to cater to varying system designs:

SCC2X4 Solar Cable ClipSCC2X4 Solar Cable Clip

SCC2X4

Holds two 4mm² solar cables, ideal for straight-on (0°) mounting in smaller systems like domestic rooftop installations.

SCC4X4 Solar Cable ClipSCC4X4 Solar Cable Clip

SCC4X4

Accommodates four 4mm² or three 6mm² solar cables, making it suitable for straight-on (0°) mounting in larger, high-capacity systems such as solar farms.

SCC2X4-90D Solar Cable ClipSCC2X4-90D Solar Cable Clip

SCC2X4-90D

Designed to hold two 4mm² solar cables, this configuration provides a 90° mounting option for installations requiring directional flexibility in cable routing.

Each clip is engineered to securely fasten cables, ensuring clean, organised installations that are resilient to environmental stress.


Applications: Domestic Rooftop Solar vs Solar Farms

Domestic Rooftop Installations:

Rooftop solar systems typically use 2 x 4mm² cables, which are sufficient for single-string setups. These systems prioritise compact, lightweight components for easy installation. The SCC2X4 clip is the perfect choice, offering secure and neat cable organisation for residential solar projects.

Solar Farms:

Large-scale installations often require 4 x 4mm² or 3 x 6mm² cables to manage higher currents and maintain efficiency over long distances. The SCC4X4 clip is built for these demanding conditions, providing the durability and capacity needed for multi-string setups in solar farms.


The Bigger Picture: Growth in Renewables

Australia’s renewable energy sector is undergoing rapid expansion. In 2023, the country installed approximately 4.6 GW of photovoltaic capacity, further cementing its position as a leader in solar energy. Renewables accounted for 35% of total electricity generation, with solar energy contributing 16%, according to data from energy.gov.au.
This trend is expected to continue, with projections indicating that renewables could produce over 30% of total electricity in 2024. This growth is driven by both small-scale installations, such as domestic rooftop systems, and large-scale solar farms designed to meet increasing energy demands.


Key Features of Cabac Solar Clips

  • Durable Material: 304 stainless steel ensures resistance to corrosion, rust, and mechanical stress, making it suitable for outdoor use.
  • Versatile Mounting: Available in straight-on (0°) and right-angle (90°) configurations to fit diverse installation requirements.
  • Reusable Design: Clips can be repositioned or adjusted without compromising performance.
  • Broad Compatibility: Supports common solar cable sizes, including 4mm² and 6mm², to adapt to varying project needs.

Cable Selection: A Critical Decision

Cable configurations vary by system design. While domestic rooftops generally use 2 x 4mm² cables, solar farms may require 4 x 4mm², 2 x 6mm², or other configurations. Cabac offers a wide range of clip options and can source additional solutions for unique projects. Consult with our team to select the most suitable clip for your system requirements.
