Abstract: Planning and installation of a PV power plant involve a lot of calculation and design of electrical circuitry. For a rooftop or ground mounted efficient solar power plant, it becomes very essential that all energy generated get transferred to load as the efficiency of PV cell is relatively very less and installation is a costlier process. The power transmission to cables needs good design, selection, and careful handling. Cables are subjected to thermal, mechanical and electromagnetic stresses. For a long-lasting electrical circuit with exposure to the harsh environmental condition like temperature fluctuations and UV rays, it becomes necessary to protect the cable network. This paper reviews the conductor and cables used in solar installations, it also gives the specification difference in normal DC power and DC cables used in solar system
