Photovoltaic Power Plants

Protection of cables and drainage for high-performance solar parks

The Challenge

Tubes exposed to the sun + tight schedule + lands that flood. Techduto solves with UV/AC resistant corrugated HDPE pipes, DW double wall in buried sections and Techdreno drainage that keeps boxes and structures dry all year round.

The Brazilian solar energy market grows more than 30% per year. With thousands of hectares of panels, each hour of stoppage due to flooding or damaged cable represents direct loss. Techduto is a partner of the country’s largest photovoltaic power plants, with solutions that accelerate installation by 30%.

From pilot projects in Piauí to the largest UFV in Latin America, our pipes and ducts are present in every stage — from CC cable protection to drainage of inverter platforms.

Challenges and Solutions

How Techduto addresses each challenge in Photovoltaic Power Plants

UV degradation of exposed cables

UV/AC lines with anti-UV additive and color that reduces heating — ideal for tracker and string box rises.

Damaged cables in buried trenches

Techduto DW with smooth interior: 30% faster launch, no damage to cables during passage.

Flooding on platforms

Techdreno NBR/DW drains water before it reaches equipment — dry platforms all year round.

High OPEX with maintenance

25+ year lifespan and simplified installation reduce OPEX by up to 40% vs conventional ones.

How We Apply It

Techduto methodology in 3 steps

Diagnosis

Analysis of electrical layout, flooding points and sections exposed to the sun.

2

Project

Plotting, diameters, UV/AC sections and drainage collectors — all specified.

3

Execution

Laser/GPS guided installation → work on schedule, zero rework.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Photovoltaic Power Plants

The UV/AC lines have anti-UV additive and color that reduce heating — ideal for tracker and string box ascents. For buried sections, the Techduto DW with smooth interior is the best option.
It depends on the project: the Techdreno KC dispenses with the mat as it has integrated micro-filters — ideal for express works. The Techdreno NBR/DW uses geotextile or geocomposite according to the technical specification of the engineer.
The Techduto DW has a smooth interior that reduces friction when passing cables. Result: cables enter faster and with less effort, accelerating installation by up to 30% and reducing the risk of damage to the insulation.
Our HDPE ducts have a lifespan of over 25 years, compatible with the lifespan of photovoltaic modules. The HDPE is resistant to UV, soil chemicals and extreme thermal variations.
Yes. With factories in São José dos Campos (SP), Recife (PE) and Primavera do Leste (MT), plus a distribution center in Petrolina (PE), we serve the 27 states with our own logistics and competitive deadlines.
Our technical team analyzes the electrical layout of the UFV, identifies flooding points and exposed sections, and specifies the complete routing with diameters, types of duct (UV/AC, DW, NBR) and drainage collectors. The project can be accompanied by guided installation with laser/GPS.
