+/- 1” (25 mm) of the centerline of the factory mounting hole. CAUTION: Contact Bosch Solar Energy if only the short frame edges are to be used for anchoring the module. This type of mounting method typically requires additional analysis by Bosch Solar Energy. Failure to do so may invalidate the warranty. - Page 13 For wiring that is exposed to weather, select conductor cable that is sunlight (UV) resistance and that offers a minimum rating of 90 °C (194 °F). Bosch recommends that all wiring be double insulated, use flexible copper (Cu) conductors at least 3mm in diameter (AWG 12) and rated as USE-2 or equivalent.
