First of all this is not the usual forum for this cable application [I think "Electrical/Electronic engineering other topics" forum will be better]. Second: I cannot open the link [You have to check it].
I think the cable you referred is as following:
You could use cable tray provided with raised covers [against the sun radiation].
All metallic parts have to be weather protected and lightning protection has to be provided [see- for instance- NFPA 780].
