Tray cable (TC) is defined by the NEC as "a factory assembly of two or more insulated conductors, with or without associated bare or covered grounding conductors under a nonmetallic sheath, for installation in cable trays, in raceways, or where supported by a messenger wire."
It's tough, flexible, solar-rated cable that handles UV exposure, temperature swings, moisture, direct burial, and concrete encasement.
Why use tray cable for solar? XLPE insulation means UV resistant, wet rated, and temperature rated from -40°C to +90°C. Run it in cable trays, conduit, messenger wire supports, direct burial, or even embedded in concrete.
Common solar uses: DC runs from array to charge controller, battery bank interconnects, AC runs from inverter to panel, underground feeder to a shed or cabin, and commercial rooftop arrays (no conduit needed).
