Rojas v. Bosch Solar Energy
Case No. 5:18-cv-5841BLF (N.D. Cal.)
Bosch solar panels model c-Si M NA30119 were recalled due to fire risk. Act now to have your panels replaced for free.
There is a proposed settlement in a class-action lawsuit about an alleged defect in Bosch solar panels model c-Si M NA30119, claiming the solder joints pose a fire safety risk. Other Bosch solar panels are not affected. Bosch Solar had started a voluntary recall, and now will replace roof and ground mounted NA30119 units at no cost to owners who submit claims.
WHO’S INCLUDED?
The settlement includes all current owners of NA30119 panels or the properties on which they are installed. In other words, you are included if you are leasing the panels, for example. You are not included if you already had these panels replaced under warranty or the recall.
Owners of 100 panel or greater ground-mounted arrays are not included. Not sure if you are included? Get the detailed notice here. It tells you even more about who is included and excluded.
EACH BOSCH SOLAR NA30119 PANEL HAS SIXTY CELLS,
AND EACH CELL HAS THE BOSCH LOGO IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER.
THE EDGES ARE SMOOTH, NOT GROOVED.

WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER OPTIONS?
If don’t want to be legally bound by this settlement, you must exclude yourself by February 3, 2023 or you won’t be able to sue Bosch Solar about the claims in this case ever again. If you don’t exclude yourself, you may object to it by February 3, 2023. The detailed notice explains how. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California will hold a hearing in this case (Rojas v. Bosch Solar, Case No. 5:18- cv-5841BLF) on April 6, 2023, to consider whether to approve the settlement. If so, the lawyers representing Class members (including Birka-White Law Offices, Danville, CA; Levin Sedran & Berman LLP, Philadelphia, PA; and Farella Braun + Martel, San Francisco, CA) will be paid $1,400,000 by Bosch Solar for fees and expenses. The Court may also approve a payment of up to $10,000 total to two Class members, Steve and Andrea Rojas, who worked with the lawyers to represent other Class members. You or your own lawyer may appear and ask to speak at the hearing, at your own cost, but you don’t have to. If the Court approves the settlement, Bosch Solar will be released from all liability for the claims in this case.
