Thank you for buying our Bosch Solar photo-
voltaic (PV) modules. This manual describes the
installation and maintenance instructions for
the modules intended for use in North America.
Before installing, wiring and using a module, it
is important to thoroughly read this manual and
understand the instructions. Installers must
understand the basic principles of electricity
and electrical apparatuses as well as article 690
of the National Electrical Code. Special atten-
tion must be given to the safety instructions.

1. Important Safeguards/Warnings
Read this section carefully before installing,
using, repairing or performing maintenance on
the PV modules or the PV power system.
WARNING
• Lethal voltages and/or shock hazard may
be present in modules and arrays during
sunlight hours, even at low light level.
This hazard increases when multiple
modules are connected together to pro-
vide higher system voltage or current
levels. Dangerous voltages may also be
present at night from connections to
batteries and feedback from inverters or
other parts of the system.
Bosch Solar modules should only be installed
by qualified installers with adequate solar in-
stallation experience. You must comply with the
standards and regulations applicable to PV in-
stallations, such as National Electrical Code
(NEC) and other building codes, the grid opera-
tor's technical connection requirements, and
trade association rules concerning accident
prevention. Failure to comply can lead to sig-
nificant personal injury and equipment damage.
Lethal voltages and/or a shock hazard may be
present in modules and arrays during sunlight
hours, even at low light level. This hazard in-
creases when multiple modules are connected
together to provide higher system voltage or
current levels. Dangerous voltages may also be
present at night from connections to batteries
and feedback from inverters or other parts of
the system.
