Vista Del Verde in Yoba Linda California includes solar roofs
What if, when you bought a new home, solar energy was part of the overall package? That is, along with a garage, windows and roof, can you imagine if solar panels were part of the deal?
Well, its happening in California. At “The Preserve at Vista Del Verde,” in Yorba Linda, a community of 90 homes will start sales in September 2010. You will be able to move into a new, solar-powered home. Instead of investing in the cost of installing solar panels yourself, the rooftop panels will already be there. All you’ll pay for is clean solar electricity.
Solar panels on rooftops is a smart way to save energy
The Preserve will be designed and constructed by Toll Brothers, while the solar rooftop installations will be handled by PetersenDean. SunRun will handle the solar service for the community.
According to the official website:
The Preserve at Vista Del Verde is located in the final village of Vista Del Verde in Yorba Linda. This unique single-family community neighbors Lakeview Elementary School and enjoys breathtaking city light views. The Preserve will offer 7 new home designs ranging from 2,267 to 2,703 square feet. Convenient to Orange County’s entertainment, recreation, and fine dining, The Preserve homeowners will also benefit from wonderful amenities including the beautiful 18-hole championship Black Gold Golf Club, extensive trail systems connecting to Chino Hills State Park and Carbon Canyon Regional Park, picturesque vista points, and two neighborhood parks all within walking distance.
The solar rooftop option will allow new home buyers to pay a fixed rate of only $42 a month for electricity, guaranteed for the next 20 years. Considering the average monthly utility bills of homes of this size, savings will be anywhere from $50-100 each month. Just think how fast $1200 a year will add up in savings over 20 years (how does $24,000 sound?)
No need to worry about maintenance or insurance for your home solar power system. SunRun has that covered. All you need to do is select the solar energy feature on your new California home and then move in and watch the savings start accumulating!
