Sept. 26, 2011 - Westinghouse Solar, Inc. WESTD -1.14% , a designer and manufacturer of solar power systems, today announced the release of its all-in-one rooftop solar kits. The combination of affordable pricing -- along with the ease of installation that the Westinghouse Solar Power System provides -- makes these new kits very appealing to contractors and do-it-yourself (DIY) homeowners who, until now, have been put off by the high price of a rooftop system.
Each rooftop solar kit includes Westinghouse Solar AC panels with integrated racking and inverters, roof brackets with fasteners, roof flashings, and panel splices. All that needs to be added is wiring to the rooftop and a circuit breaker installed in the home's electrical service panel. Westinghouse Solar recommends that an electrician or other licensed professional provide an electrical code-compliant connection into the service panel.

"What has been lost in the recent news about the solar industry is that solar panels are less than half the price they were just two years ago. These cost reductions are terrific news for consumers. Now, paybacks in many states are less than five years -- after which homeowners get free electricity from their system," said Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Westinghouse Solar. "What these dramatically lower prices mean is that 'going solar' is now a terrific investment and, like in Germany, the rooftop solar industry has the potential to grow faster than any other market segment." read more>>>
