“As the Australian market grows and solar panels become more commoditized, it is critical to offer products and services that stand out,” said Gerry McGowan, CEO of CBD Energy. “Westinghouse Solar's integrated AC and DC designs are quite innovative, and will help us reduce installed costs for our customers and business partners in Australia, Europe and elsewhere.
