The test

General information

We took a close look at and tested the product in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. From the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling, the product is subjected to our test procedure.

To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum achievable score per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weighting.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The packaging of the cable leaves a positive impression. The shipping box is made exclusively from recyclable and renewable materials such as paper and cardboard and is kept compact, which helps to minimise waste and avoids unnecessary packaging material. However, the use of plastic film for the outer packaging of the cable could be reconsidered and replaced with a more sustainable solution. The contents of the packaging are complete and in good condition. Due to the simple handling, instructions for use are not required.

The solar cable impresses with its professional appearance and high-quality workmanship. The workmanship of the insulation layer and the sheath is flawless. There are no recognisable processing faults and the cable has no kinks or protruding wires, which indicates that it has been carefully manufactured. In terms of stability, the cable shows its strengths: it is weather-resistant, temperature-resistant from -40°C to +90°C and waterproof to IP67/68. The robust workmanship and the high-quality, pollutant-free materials suggest an environmentally friendly and durable solution, even if ANFIL Solar Technology does not provide any specific sustainability information.

The practical test of the solar cable from ANFIL Solar Technology confirms its high performance in several key areas. The flexibility of the cable makes it easy to lay and adapt to different installation situations without loss of conductivity. This facilitates the handling and integration of the cable into various systems. The weather and UV resistance was tested by direct sunlight, rain and temperature fluctuations. The cable proved to be extremely robust and showed no visible changes or material damage, which proves its suitability for outdoor use. The cable has a high tensile strength and withstands the stresses without any signs of damage or deformation. The cable proved to be very temperature-resistant in the range from -40°C to +90°C. Even at high temperatures, it showed no signs of melting or deformation. To test the tight fit of the cable connections, the cable was connected to an existing solar system. The connections remained stable and secure, ensuring reliable and continuous energy transmission.

Overall, the practical test shows that the ANFIL solar cable is well suited for professional photovoltaic systems due to its high-quality workmanship, flexibility and weather resistance.
