Westinghouse Solar to introduce AC solar power system at Intersolar Europe

Share

Westinghouse Solar, Inc. announced that it will be exhibiting at booth number A3-220 during the upcoming Intersolar 2011 trade show on June 8 to 10, 2011 in Munich, Germany.

Westinghouse Solar will exhibit its latest Plug-and-Play AC module as well as its DC system for commercial systems. "We are excited to be unveiling the industry's first fully integrated AC solar panel into Europe, the world's largest solar market," said Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Westinghouse Solar.

"Panel prices have declined to the point at which direct and indirect labor expenses are now the largest single component of system costs. With integrated racking, wiring and grounding, Westinghouse Solar Power Systems eliminate 80 percent of the field assembly components and save 50 percent of the labor compared to ordinary solar power systems, thereby providing greater margin opportunity to rooftop system installers."

Westinghouse Solar's 235 watt AC panel features a second-generation integrated frame, as well as features that enhance the panel's reliability and ease of installation. For commercial rooftops, Westinghouse Solar will be showing its lightweight, non-penetrating flat roof solar power system that is also based on a large-format 235 watt panel.

Westinghouse Solar currently sells its integrated solar panels to a 300-strong network of dealers and installers in North America. The company's new 235 watt AC and DC panels are expected to begin shipping to customers this summer at attractive price points.
