Photovoltaic (PV) system-specific electric cables with a rated voltage of 1500V DC are specialist parts that are essential to the effective and secure functioning of solar energy installations. These cables are designed to fulfill the unique needs of solar power generation, in which solar panels produce direct current (DC). These cables maximize the efficiency of energy transmission by managing the higher voltages often seen in bigger solar arrays thanks to their higher rated voltage of 1500V DC. These cables' robustness and capacity to withstand environmental conditions are two of its main characteristics. They are appropriate for outdoor application in PV systems as they are frequently made to survive exposure to sunshine, harsh temperatures, and a variety of weather conditions. In order to guarantee long-term performance in solar installations exposed to sunlight, these cables usually include exceptional UV resistance.
Manufacturers place a great deal of weight on the IS 17293:2020 standard for electric cables for solar systems with a rated voltage of 1500V DC. Adherence to IS 17293:2020 facilitates the production of cables by manufacturers that fulfill safety and dependability requirements. PV installation certification and approval can be facilitated by manufacturers that satisfy regulatory criteria by producing cables in compliance with IS 17293:2020. By following this standard, cables are guaranteed to function as best they can in photovoltaic systems, lowering the chance of energy loss or system malfunctions.
Note: It should be noted that manufacturers of 1500V DC electrical cables for solar systems are required to get the ISI Mark Certification.
By guaranteeing that these cables meet strict technical requirements, safety guidelines, and quality standards, ISI Certification ultimately improves the efficiency and security of solar systems used to generate renewable energy. This accreditation demonstrates a manufacturer's dedication to providing cables that not only satisfy but also surpass the Bureau of Indian criteria' (BIS) strict quality and safety criteria. It guarantees the effectiveness and dependability of photovoltaic systems that contribute to a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy future, giving the renewable energy industry peace of mind knowing the cables they use in solar projects are of the highest quality.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
The following documentation is required to get an ISI certification:

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:
Regular Procedure
With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.
Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards
Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

Simplified Procedure
This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.
Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard
Step 2: Sample Testing
