NOTE: 
DO NOT attempt to open the diode housing or junction box located on the back side of any Bosch Solar 
module. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Handling Safety 

ƒ

 

DO NOT drop, allow objects to fall on, 
or stand or step on modules. 

ƒ

 

DO NOT install during high winds. 

ƒ

 

Never leave a module unsupported or 
unsecured. If a module falls, the glass 

could break. A module with broken 
glass cannot be repaired and must not 
be used. 

ƒ

 

DO NOT disassemble the module, or 
remove any part installed by Bosch So-
lar. Use modules for their intended use  

 

 

only and follow all manufacturers’ in-

structions. 

ƒ

 

DO NOT attempt to remove snow or ice 
from the module. 

ƒ

 

DO NOT direct artificially concentrated 
sunlight on the module. 

Installation Safety 

ƒ

 

DO NOT attempt to install or service 
any portion of the PV system unless you 

understand the electrical operation and 
are fully qualified to do so.
