FRCABLE targets 2026 solar buildouts with AA-8000 aluminum cables spanning 0.6/1kV to 6/10kV
The article says copper prices stayed at historic highs across 2024–2025, driven by EV battery demand and supply constraints, prompting solar developers to shift from copper to aluminum conductor cables to cut BOS costs. It adds that FRCABLE, a leading Chinese maker of aluminum solar cables, is promoting AA-8000 series alloy products that cover 0.6/1kV through 6/10kV and carry certifications including TÜV, CE and UL. For a 500 MW-scale project, the article says aluminum substitution can save several million dollars in cable material costs.
