Multilayer composite copper strip (CCA strip), with its cost advantage, light weight, long life, convenient transportation and other characteristics, is widely used inPhotovoltaic welding ribbon<\/a>, power cables, electronic components and other fields. Compared with traditional pure copper strips, multi-layer composite copper strips can significantly reduce material and production costs while ensuring electrical performance, bringing significant economic benefits to enterprises.<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0Material cost advantage: reduce the cost of raw materials for 20%-30%<\/p> Copper clad aluminum is cheaper than pure copper<\/p> The price of aluminum is only 1\/3 \u2013 1\/4 of that of copper. Under the same conductivity, the use of aluminum core as the substrate for multi-layer composite copper strip can effectively reduce the cost of raw materials.<\/p> Cost saving: In the production of welding strips of the same specifications, the cost of copper-clad aluminum strips can be reduced by 20%-30% compared with pure copper strips.<\/p> Take photovoltaic ribbon as an example:<\/p> 1 ton pure copper welding strip price: ~\uffe580,000<\/p> 1 ton copper clad aluminum welding strip price: ~\uffe555,000 \u2013 \uffe560,000<\/p> Savings per ton: \uffe520,000 or more<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0Lightweight: Reduce transportation and installation costs 40%-50%<\/p> Lighter weight and more economical to transport<\/p> The density of aluminum is only 1\/3 of that of copper. Under the same weight, the length of multi-layer composite copper strip is about 2.5 times that of pure copper strip.<\/p> Reduced cost per unit length: Due to the reduced weight 40%-50%, transportation, storage and installation costs are greatly reduced<\/p> In photovoltaic power station projects, reducing weight can also reduce the overall weight of components, making installation more convenient<\/p> Transportation savings: For large-scale photovoltaic projects, transportation and handling costs are reduced by more than 40%<\/p> Installation costs: Lightweight components reduce installation time and labor costs<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0Length advantage: longer product length, reducing replacement frequency<\/p> Increased length improves production efficiency<\/p> Due to the lower density of aluminum, the length of copper-clad aluminum strip is about 2.5 times that of pure copper strip at the same weight.<\/p> A longer length means:<\/p> Reduce equipment downtime<\/p> Reduce replacement frequency and improve production efficiency<\/p> Reduce waste and improve material utilization<\/p> Production line benefits: Reduce the number of tape changes, improve the stability of the production line, and reduce operating time and maintenance costs<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0Reduced production and processing costs: easier processing, reduced energy consumption<\/p> Improved processing efficiency<\/p> Copper-clad aluminum strip has good hardness and flexibility, which makes it easy to maintain stability during rolling, annealing, tinning and other processing links.<\/p> Since aluminum is easier to process, overall energy consumption is reduced and production efficiency is improved<\/p> Energy saving: Compared with pure copper strip processing, it can save 15%-20% of energy consumption<\/p> Reduced processing costs: Reduced production line maintenance and equipment wear costs<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0High cost performance: cost performance improved 30%-40%<\/p> Excellent conductivity and stability<\/p> Conductivity: The conductivity of copper-clad aluminum strip is close to that of pure copper strip, reaching 98% IACS, which can ensure the power transmission efficiency of photovoltaic welding strips<\/p> Mechanical properties: After special rolling and annealing processes, the tensile strength and bending resistance are improved, allowing the copper-clad aluminum strip to operate stably under high load conditions<\/p> Improved cost performance: When the performance is similar, the cost performance of copper-clad aluminum strip is higher than that of pure copper strip 30%-40%<\/p> Long-term operation: Maintaining the stability of the photovoltaic system for more than 10-15 years<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0Reduced maintenance and replacement costs: Extend life and reduce replacement frequency<\/p> Longer life and lower maintenance frequency<\/p> Tin plating on the surface of copper-clad aluminum strip can effectively prevent corrosion and improve anti-oxidation performance<\/p> After special processing, copper-clad aluminum strip can still maintain good electrical conductivity and mechanical properties in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and large temperature difference between day and night.<\/p> Service life: The service life reaches 10-15 years, which is 30% longer than ordinary copper clad aluminum strip.<\/p> Maintenance cost: Due to the low replacement frequency, the maintenance and repair costs are greatly reduced<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0Tax and policy support: Enjoy the benefits of new energy policies<\/p> In line with the green production trend of the photovoltaic industry<\/p> The state's policy support for the photovoltaic new energy industry enables companies using energy-saving and consumption-reducing materials to receive policy subsidies, tax incentives and other support<\/p> Copper-clad aluminum strip, as a material for energy saving and cost reduction, conforms to the general trend of carbon neutrality and green manufacturing, and brings additional policy advantages to enterprises<\/p> Tax incentives: Enjoy the VAT refund policy for energy-saving materials<\/p> Policy support: National photovoltaic industry subsidies to encourage the use of new materials<\/p> \ud83d\udfe0Improved market competitiveness: meeting diversified needs<\/p> Seize market share<\/p>
