Direct answer
Armored solar cable is used when PV cable routes need stronger mechanical protection than standard single-core solar cable can provide.
This is not a default replacement for normal string cable. It should be selected for exposed sections, underground route risk, mechanical impact or project-specific protection needs.

FAQ
When is armored solar cable necessary?
It is used when mechanical risk, route exposure or project rules require stronger protection than standard PV cable.
Can armored cable be included with standard PV cable in one shipment?
Yes, but reel weight, loading sequence and unloading equipment should be planned before shipment.
