As a professional wire exporter with rich experience in international projects, we accurately addressed the customer’s core pain points and delivered high-quality, compliant products on time, winning the customer’s trust and laying a solid foundation for long-term cooperation in the Middle East and African markets. This case details how we used our professional strength to support the smooth progress of the project and create mutual value with the customer.

1. Challenges in Wire Selection for Jordan’s Green Agriculture Project

The Jordan Valley Agri-PV and Aquaculture Project, located in the Jordan Valley region of Jordan, is a large-scale comprehensive project invested by a local agricultural development company, aiming to solve the problems of water scarcity and low agricultural efficiency in the region. The project covers an area of 120 hectares, including a 50MW photovoltaic power generation system and a 30-hectare intensive aquaculture base. The photovoltaic system is responsible for providing stable power for the entire project, while the aquaculture base relies on submersible pumps to extract groundwater for breeding, which places high requirements on the performance and reliability of wires and cables.

Before cooperating with us, the customer encountered many difficulties in selecting wires for the project. First, the project is located in a region with harsh natural conditions—high temperature, strong sunlight, large day-night temperature differences, and high humidity in the aquaculture area, which requires wires to have excellent weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance. Second, the project involves two core scenarios: photovoltaic power transmission and submersible pump power supply, which require different types of wires, and the customer struggled to find a supplier that could provide a full range of products. Third, as a project funded by international green energy funds, it has strict requirements on product certifications; the wires must meet international standards and local compliance requirements, otherwise, the project cannot pass the acceptance. Finally, the project schedule was tight, and the customer needed a supplier that could deliver products quickly to avoid delaying the construction period.

After comparing multiple wire suppliers, the customer finally chose Dongguan GERITEL Electrical Co., Ltd. The key reason is our rich experience in similar agri-PV and aquaculture projects, our ability to provide customized solutions, our complete product range, and our complete set of international certifications, which can fully meet the project’s requirements.

2. Tailored Wire Matching for Project Needs

After receiving the customer’s inquiry, our professional technical team immediately conducted in-depth communication with the customer to clarify the specific needs of each link of the project. Combining the project’s working environment, power demand, and compliance requirements, we formulated a exclusive wire solution, covering three core wire types and supplementary products that meet African market habits, ensuring that each product is perfectly matched to the project scenario.

The first core product is PV Cable, which is mainly used for power transmission between photovoltaic modules, inverters, and distribution boxes in the 50MW photovoltaic system. Considering the project’s long-term exposure to strong sunlight and high temperature, we recommended our high-performance PV Cable that meets IEC62930/EN50618:2014 standards. The key model used in the project is 2x4mm PV Cable, which is a twin-core solar cable with black and red jackets, using tinned annealed copper conductors, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance. Compared with ordinary PV cables on the market, our 2x4mm PV Cable uses 125℃ XLPE insulation and sheath materials, which can withstand a temperature range of -40℃ to +90℃, and has excellent UV resistance and aging resistance, with a service life of more than 25 years, fully adapting to the harsh outdoor environment of the Jordan Valley. In addition, we also provided 4x2.5mm PV Cable and 1x6mm PV Cable for the project, with a total quantity of 85,000 meters, used for different parts of the photovoltaic system according to the power transmission demand.

The second core product is Bare Copper Wire, which is used for the grounding system of the photovoltaic power station and the aquaculture base. The grounding system is crucial to the safety of the entire project, especially in the photovoltaic system, which needs to effectively guide lightning current to the ground to avoid equipment damage. We provided16mm² Bare Copper Wire, 25mm² Bare Copper Wire, and 35mm² Bare Copper Wire for the project, with a total quantity of 32,000 meters. Our Bare Copper Wire is made of high-purity electrolytic copper, with a conductor resistance of 5.09Ω/km at 20℃, which is lower than the industry average, ensuring efficient grounding. Compared with galvanized steel wire commonly used in some African markets, our Bare Copper Wire has better electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, and does not easily rust or break, ensuring the long-term stability of the grounding system.

The third core product is Submersible Pump Cable, which is used to supply power to the submersible pumps in the aquaculture base. The submersible pumps work underwater for a long time, so the cable must have excellent water resistance, corrosion resistance, and pressure resistance. We provided 3x4mm²+1x2.5mm² Submersible Pump Cable and 3x6mm²+1x4mm² Submersible Pump Cable for the project, with a total quantity of 18,000 meters. This cable adopts special PVC compound materials that are resistant to water, oil, acids, and alkalies, complying with IS:694 and BS:6500 standards. Compared with ordinary submersible cables, our product can effectively prevent water leakage and short circuits, and the flexible conductor design is convenient for installation in narrow underwater spaces. In addition, we also supplemented 2.5mm² PVC Insulated Wire and 4mm² PVC Insulated Wire according to the African market habits, with a total quantity of 25,000 meters, used for the internal wiring of the project’s distribution boxes and control cabinets.

In the process of formulating the solution, we also fully considered the customer’s cost control needs. While ensuring product quality and performance, we optimized the product configuration to help the customer reduce procurement costs without compromising the project’s safety and stability.
