Section II. Westinghouse Solar AC System Layout and Design

Westinghouse Solar AC systems require 80% fewer parts than ordinary solar systems; the simplicity of
having fewer parts transfers directly into the ease of the design process. Along with the added
efficiencies of Westinghouse Solar AC panels comes a set of unique parameters that need to be
considered when laying out your design. Westinghouse Solar's racking system is built directly into the
panel frame. When laying out a single row you should visualize the perimeter of the array for your roof
attachment points. The top and bottom frames of Westinghouse Solar panels is where the "Groove"
(Figure 2) is accessible and will serve as connection between the array and the chosen roof-mounting
solution. The Groove provides full adjustability in the east-west direction of your roof, allowing you to
adapt attachment spacing to nearly every rafter scenario.

You may orient the Westinghouse Solar panels in either a "portrait mode" or a "landscape mode".
Portrait mode minimizes roof penetrations and AC wiring, resulting in faster installation times.
Landscape mode may also be used for added flexibility. The design of the Westinghouse Solar Power
System also accommodates mixed portrait and landscape installations.
