Rely on safety when it comes to fire protection
The saying "safety first" is certainly very important in many areas of life. Everyone is talking about different topics: financial, private, professional. One aspect that concerns us all is fire protection. This level of safety in the event of a fire is particularly high in public buildings such as hospitals, care facilities or daycare centers.
This also includes the solar system on the roof: more and more rooftop systems require a higher CPR rating (Construction Product Regulations, EN50757) in order to comply with the European Directive EU305/2011. Solar cables are available in various designs and CPR ratings. Most suppliers offer solar cables with Eca and Dca ratings. However, this is too low for public buildings, where the highest known CPR rating is required: B2ca. Our HIKRA SOL B2ca solar cable meets exactly these requirements!
Background: The European Construction Products Regulation
Since June 10, 2016, all cables and lines installed in a building are subject to the European Construction Products Regulation, or CPR for short. Depending on the fire behavior of these components, they are classified into European fire classes, from low safety requirements and fire class Eca, to very high safety requirements and classification B2ca. The cable industry recommends the use of cables and lines depending on the safety requirements of the building.
At the top: HIKRA SOL B2ca
Our HIKRA SOL B2ca solar cable is assigned the highest fire class B2ca. For you, that means no risks and the highest level of safety that a cable can offer. In the event of a fire, that means no smoke development (s1), no burning drops/drops (d0), low acidity and low conductivity (a1). Thanks to the particularly high-quality insulating materials used in our HIKRA SOL B2ca solar cable, the expected service life is at least 25 years. No expensive replacement measures are necessary, you reduce system failures and thus secure your system yield.
Don't take any risks when it comes to fire protection and rely on the maximum safety of the HIKRA SOL B2ca.
Safe, reliable, convincing.

How battery storage systems can reduce your electricity costs by up to 90%
In industrial operations, efficient management of energy costs is crucial. The use of energy storage systems, especially battery storage systems for peak shaving, plays a crucial role not only in minimizing energy costs but also in improving grid support and stability. For companies with annual operating hours below or above 2500, these methods offer significant savings potential.
What is Peak Shaving?
Peak shaving, also known as peak load capping, refers to the reduction of peak loads in electricity consumption, which can cause significant costs, especially for large industrial consumers. These peaks can be reduced by using commercial storage systems by supplementing the power supply during peak load times with the energy stored in battery storage systems.
Pre-assembled Cable Harnesses vs. On-site Assembly
Time is money – this old saying is especially true when installing solar power plants. Cabling is a critical cost factor that is often underestimated. But this is precisely where there is significant potential for savings: up to 20% of the total costs can be saved by using pre-assembled cable harnesses. How is this possible?
