Bosch’s Safer PV Technology Could Save Lives Bosch is bowing out of silicon photovoltaic manufacturing this year

First off, solar systems aren’t killers, but in certain—very unusal situations, they can be lethal. Once a PV module is connected to wiring, it’s outputting electricity when light hits it, and when the array’s wiring is compromised, or the grid is compromised, PV modules can…http://alternativeenergy.com.pk/solar-energy-power/boschs-safer-pv-technology-could-save-lives-bosch-is-bowing-out-of-silicon-photovoltaic-manufacturing-this-year/ Bosch PV modules, Bosch’s Safer PV Technology, Inverters, Photovoltaic Technology, renewable energy, silicon photovoltaic manufacturing, Solar Cells, solar energy, Solar Panels, Solar Power, Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
