Bosch Solar Energy offers photovoltaic

modules consisting of highly efficient

monocrystalline silicon solar cells in

156 mm x 156 mm format manufactured

in its own integrated production pro-

cess. These solar modules impress

thanks to their high efficiency and stable

yields. There are two performance

classes with 48 or 60 cells per module

with the performance classes dependent

on the number of cells in the module.

Detailed layout of a crystalline solar module

The type of module suited to your needs

depends on the installation location and

the available size of your roof on your

home.

Photovoltaic modules made with mono-

crystalline solar cells excel thanks to

their high efficiency and are therefore

particularly suitable for small, optimally

positioned rooftops. Monocrystalline

solar modules feature a black surface,

which, together with their ultra-slim

structure, add aesthetic appeal.

The only difference between monocrys-

talline modules with 48 cells or those

with 60 cells is their size. The decision

on whether to use the smaller or larger

module depends on the available instal-

lation area.

The Bosch Solar Energy product portfo-

lio also contains polycrystalline solar

modules and thin film modules.

Polycrystalline solar modules have a

lower efficiency than their monocrystal-

line counterparts. You can identify them

easily thanks to the blue shimmering,

crystal-like surface of their cells. Thin

film modules are primarily used in large

area installations.

Our products Everything from a single source


The production facilities in Arnstadt

cover the entire value added chain,

from crystal pulling (drawing ingots)

and wafer production through to solar

cell and module manufacture. The

Center of Expertise consists of an

ultramodern research and development

center, a vocational training center, and

the company headquarters. An inte-

grated production process enables

Bosch Solar Energy to guarantee com-

pliance with high quality standards at

all stages in the value added chain.

Quality starts with the purchase of raw

materials and leads to stable products,

which are crucial for maximizing returns

on your investment.

Bosch Solar Energy's main plant and Center of Expertise

New production processes and the next product generations are developed

at the Center of Expertise and main plant for crystalline photovoltaics in

Arnstadt, Germany.

Our partners extract high-purity silicon from quartz sand, which we then use throughout all stages in our modern solar

cell production process.

Solar modules are an sustainable invest-

ment. For this reason, we pay close

attention to the performance of our

products during their long-term use.

Comprehensive checks and tests assure

you and us both that Bosch solar mod-

ules deliver what we promise.

We monitor the long-term performance

of modules when exposed to high and

low temperatures, high humidity and

salty air, which also enables us to guar-

antee installations in coastal areas.

Mechanical load and suction load tests

which go beyond the requirements

specified in industrial standards allow us

to ensure that Bosch solar modules are

able to withstand all weather conditions.

We also pay attention to the smallest

details while production is in progress.

For example, electroluminescence tests

are performed on each module to ensure

that Bosch's high quality standard is

maintained for each module. Selected

installations are studied and evaluated

on a regular basis and the knowledge

gained is taken into account when devel-

oping new generations of solar modules.

Weather resistance is an important factor

"It has always been an unbearable thought to me that someone could

inspect one of my products and prove that I supply an inferior product in

some way. Thats why I have always tried to only deliver products which

withstand the closest scrutiny products which prove themselves supe-

rior in every respect." Robert Bosch, 1918.

Warrantiesfor you and your future

Product warranty*:

Bosch Solar Energy guarantees that purchased modules are free of material and

processing defects.

Warranty period: 10 years for crystalline modules.

Performance warranty*:

Bosch Solar Energy guarantees that modules achieve the minimum output speci-

fied on their data sheet.

Warranty period:in the case of crystalline modules, we guarantee 90 % of the

specified minimum output on the data sheet for 10 years and 80 % for 25 years.

Warranty claim*:

In the event of a warranty claim, Bosch Solar Energy AG will, at its own

discretion, replace the module with a new module of the same type,

eliminate the defects, or refund the lost revenue of the relevant module.

Thanks to our meticulous development process, an ultramodern produc-

tion system and extensive testing, we are able to offer end customers the

following warranties for Bosch solar modules in addition to the contractual

warranty provided by the respective vendor.

*This is only a basic outline of our warranty coverage. You can find the full warranty conditions for

photovoltaic modules at www.bosch-solarenergy.com, or request them from your installer.

Quality certificates


We test two and half times longer than the period specified by DIN (German

Institute for Standardization) to make even more accurate statements on

longevity and the associated high quality of our modules.

Companys certificates

Quality management: from silicon and

high-performance solar cells to long-

lasting solar modules, Bosch Solar

Energys high quality standard for its

production process has been tested and

certified according to DIN EN ISO9001:2008.

Environmental management: in terms

of protecting the environment, sustain-

ability and responsibility also form part

of our core values in company activities

(certified in accordance with DIN EN

14001:2009) in addition to greenenergy generation from our solar

modules.

TV-certified: TV Rheinland verifies,

for example, that our c-Si M 60 module

passes mechanical and suction load

tests as per IEC 61215, Edition 2, the

salt spray test as per IEC 61701 and

the ammonia resistance test as per IEC62716. You can see the results by

entering ID no. 0000025913 into the

online certificate data platform at

www.tuev.com.

Product certificates and awards

Bosch Solar Energy solar modules are able to withstand all weather conditions, even

in coastal areas. TV Rheinland has tested our modules and confirmed that they can

support a mechanical load of over 5,400 pascals, or about 550 kilograms per squaremeter, which corresponds to about 880 kilograms of weight acting across the

surface of a crystalline module with 60 cells. No matter whether they are exposed to

snow, hail, rain, or wind, our modules are able to withstand most conditions.

The mechanical and wind suction load test as per IEC 61215, Edition 2, certifies

the suitability of our crystalline solar modules to withstand wind, snow, ice and

structural loads up to 5,400 Pa.

The salt spray test as per IEC 61701certifies that tested crystalline solar modules

provide resistance to corrosion caused by salt spray, a problem which may arise in

coastal areas.

The ammonia test as per IEC 62716certifies resistance of our crystalline solar

modules to high exposure to ammonia, a condition found in places such as agricul-tural buildings.

Bosch solar modules conform to the strictest standards. The crystalline modules

c-Si M 60 EU 30117 and c-Si M 60 S EU 30117 were honored with a prestigious

Plus X Awardin 2011, when they impressed in the High Quality, Design, and

Ecology categories.
