3 General information
the Module Data Sheet provided with this product. Determine local permits, installation and inspection requirements before installing module(s). If not otherwise
specified, it is recommended that the requirements of
the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC) be followed.
This photovoltaic module produces electricity when
exposed to the sunlight, even at low light levels or when
other sources illuminate the front face. The electrical
hazard from the voltage and current of a single module is
low. However, the voltage increases as modules are
connected in series and the available current increases
as the modules are connected in parallel. Thus, for a
module connected within a system, contact with electrically active parts of the module such as terminals can
result in lethal shock, sparks, and burns. The only way to
eliminate this hazard is to prevent exposure of the
module(s) to light.
Important Notice!
To avoid the hazard of electric shock and injury when
installing, wiring, operating and maintaining the PV modules

1 Introduction
This manual contains information regarding installation,
operation, maintenance and safety handling of Bosch
Solar Energy AG photovoltaic modules. Before installation
or using the PV modules, it is important to read this manual and understand the instructions carefully.
The installation of solar PV modules requires a great
degree of skill and DC voltage exceeds 100 V, it only be
performed by a qualified licensed professional, including,
without limitation, licensed contractors and licensed
electricians. The installer assumes the risk of all injury
that might occur during installation, including without
limitation, the risk of electric shock.
Important Notice!
For your safety and the safety of others, please read the
entire Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
carefully prior to installing, wiring, operating and performing maintenance of PV modules. Also, carefully read
Cover the entire front surface of the PV modules with
a dense, opaque material such as the cardboard box,
during installation and handling of the modules.
Do not expose Back sheet foil directly to sunlight
Work only under dry conditions, with dry modules
and tools.
Be sure to completely ground all modules.
Since sparks may occur, do not install the module
where flammable gases or vapors are present.
Module installation and operation should be per-
formed by qualified personnel only.
Children and unauthorized persons should not be
allowed near the installation of PV modules.
Use module for its intended function only.
Be sure that all other system components are compat-
ible, and they do not subject the module to mechanical or electrical hazards.
Do not touch terminals while module is exposed to
light or during installation.

Provide suitable guards to prevent contact with
30 VDC or greater. As a Precaution use properly insulated tools only.
Do not damage or scratch the back sheet of the
module.
Do not use the junction box to hold or transport the
module.
Do not drop module or allow objects to fall on mod-
ule.
Do not stand or step on the module.
Do not disassemble, modify or adapt the module or
remove any part or labeling installed by the manufacturer.
Do not drill holes in the frame or glass of the mod-
ule.
Do not treat back sheet and front surface of the
module with paint and adhesives.
Do not artificially concentrate light on the module.
Do not wear metallic jewelry while installing or
trouble shooting the module.
Do not change the wiring of bypass diodes.
Do not disconnect modules under load
To help avoid breakage problems
Always transport and store the module in the ship-
ping container provided.
When carrying a module two or more people should
carry it by its frame and wear non-slip gloves (to
avoid injury by a slipping module, to a foot, or cuts by
the edge of a frame, and so on).
Do not leave the module unsupported or unsecured
prior to installation. For example, wind can cause a
module which is leaning against a fence to fall and
break. Avoid application of excessive bending or
twisting forces to the module.
A module with broken glass or torn back-skin cannot
be repaired and must not be used since contact with
any module surface or the frame can produce electrical shock.
Broken or damaged modules must be handled care-
fully and disposed of properly.
Broken glass can be sharp and can cause injury if not
handled with the appropriate protective equipment.
4 Genaral safety
Follow all permission, installation and inspection requirements.
Before installing modules, contact the appropriate
authorities to determine permissions, installation,
and inspection requirements which should be followed.
Electrically ground modules for all systems of any
voltage.
If not otherwise specified, it is recommended that
requirements of the latest National Electrical Code
(USA) or other national or international electrical
standards be used.
Be sure that the construction or structure (roof,
facade, etc.) where the modules are being installed
has enough strength. For modules mounted on roofs,
special construction or structures may be required to
help provide proper installation. Both roof construction and module installation design have an effect on
the fire resistance of a building. Improper installation
may contribute to fire hazards. Additional devices
such as ground fault, fuses, and disconnects may be
required.
Do not use modules of different specifications in the
same system.
Follow all safety precautions of other system compo-
nents used.
To satisfy regulatory requirements, when installing the
modules, be sure to:
1. Use only stranded or solid copper single-conductor
type UF cable or USE cable rated sunlight resistant,
for modules and modules interconnect wiring that is
exposed to weather.
2. Observe the requirements described in sections
labeled INSTALLATION and SPECIFICATIONS of this
manual.
3. Grounding of the module frame is required. When
2
ground wires greater than 6 mm
required, the installer will need to provide suitable
terminal connectors.
(No.10 AWG) are
4. Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is
likely to experience conditions that produce more
current and/or voltage than reported at Standard
Test Conditions. Accordingly, the values of Isc and
Voc marked on this module should be multiplied by a
factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage
ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes, and size of
controls connected to the PV output.
5. Refer to section 690-8 of the National Electric Code
(NEC) for an additional multiplying factor of 125 %
(80 % de-rating) which may be applicable.
6. Conductor recommendations: single conductor cable,
type USE-2 12 AWG, rated 600 V/1000 V minimum,
90° C minimum, marked sunlight resistant.
5 Installation
Important Notice!
General
Please read this guide completely before installation
or use of the modules. This section contains electrical and mechanical specifications needed before
using your Bosch Solar Energy AG PV modules.
Modules should be firmly fixed in place in a manner
suitable to withstand all expected loads, including
wind and snow loads. Module mounting holes are
provided for easy installation and proper mechanical
loading.
Modules should be mounted with the orientation and
tilt angle required for consistent performance (sea-
sonally, yearly). The location should be selected to
have direct access to sunlight from 9:00a.m. to
3.00p.m. on the shortest day of the year. Calculate
the tilt angle by using the site latitude plus 20 degrees, with modules facing south in the northern
latitudes and north in the southern latitudes. This
will result in consistent energy output throughout the
year.
The appropriate material should be used for mount-
ing hardware to prevent the module frame, mounting
structure, and hardware itself from corrosion.
Install modules where they are not shaded by obsta-
cles like buildings and trees.
Especially pay attention to avoid partially shading the
modules by objects during the daytime.
For roof mounted systems, provide adequate rear
ventilation under a module for cooling (100 mm: 4in
gap minimum)
Clearance of 7mm: 0.25” or more between modules
is required to allow for thermal expansion of the
frames.
Observe the specifications for mounting areas ac-
cording to Illustrations 1 and 2.
Attachment with clamps on the narrow sides of the
solar module may not be performed.
The attachment of the solar module can be per-
formed with clamps (or as an alternative, directly on
the installation holes). When clamping systems are
used, the clamp surface per attachment point on the
module must amount to at least 400 mm².
Position of the installation drill holes in accordance
with Illustrations 3
Please contact your Bosch Solar Energy AG authorized
representative with questions regarding
mounting profiles for modules.
