Warning: The Westinghouse Solar AC Solar Panel System must be mounted over a fire
resistant roof covering rated for the application. Attachment points must be properly located
relative to the panel so the brackets do not exert lateral pressure on the frame. Care should
be taken to ensure the mounting points are positioned in accordance with the Westinghouse
Solar AC panel requirements. The measurements in the following diagrams represent distance
between lag bolt penetrations. Westinghouse Solar L-brackets feature an adjustable oblong
base slot that is adjusted to exact panel dimensions as the system is installed.
Failure to
adjust the L-Brackets and associated hardware to the exact panel dimensions may cause the
hardware to exert lateral pressure on the Westinghouse Solar Frame voiding the warranty.
Shared Attachment Points
Westinghouse Solar roof layouts that include multiple rows of panels leverage the installation
efficiencies of panel-integrated racking. The stainless steel Westinghouse Solar splices
(Connectors) that ground and connect panels in the east-west direction serve as structural
components. The North-South Bracket serves as a structural connection and enables sharing of
footings between the first and second rows (and all consecutive rows until the top of array).
The Westinghouse Solar North-South Bracket allows the upper row to share the lower rows
upper footing. The Westinghouse Solar AC Solar Power System has been tested and certified at
an accredited laboratory as an integrated system. When designing a multiple row array with
Westinghouse Solar AC, the entire array can be seen as a unified structure, and not single rows
of panels on independent racking systems as with ordinary solar panels.
