involved in the installation process. The second section of this guide covers the creation of an
electrical diagram, electrical site surveys, and elements of designing a solar system specific to
Westinghouse Solar AC panels. Common requirements for solar electrical permit applications are
also reviewed. The final section reviews Westinghouse Solar AC installation best practices and
system commissioning. If you are familiar with residential construction techniques, AC wiring, and
your local permitting requirements you will have the basic skills to install your Westinghouse Solar
Power System. Please note that certain state incentive programs and utility interconnection
regulations may require skills and instruments beyond those noted above, in which case the
services of a professional solar installer may be needed.
The convention we use to describe the orientation of Westinghouse Solar layouts in this guide is
that the north/ south direction describes rows of panels that are aligned vertically where north is
the peak of the roof, and south refers to the gutter. An east / west row describes a horizontal
grouping of panels from left to right. There are different functions that need to be considered
when designing Westinghouse Solar in regards to the horizontal and vertical connection of panels.
Note:
This guide was created by summarizing common requirements of solar design. It serves to prepare
system designers with a basic understanding of the solar design and planning process. Designers are
encouraged to research the specific demands of the permitting jurisdiction and utility governing their
region. Your installation should be performed in full compliance with OSHA safety standards and all
relevant jurisdictional requirements, including if applicable, the U.S. National Electrical Code (“NEC”).
