KB Home to Test Demand for Solar Power
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 9:25AM The L.A. Times reports today that KB Home is including solar panels as standard features on homes in 10 new Southland developments. KB has provided solar panels as an option in the past but this is the first time they have been standard.
The company may expand the program if it proves popular, said Steve Ruffner, president of KB's Southern California Division:
The reason we're trying it here is because there is a great interest in solar power, because of the amount of sunshine we get per day. We will see how it performs and what the customer demand is.
The systems, built by SunPower Corp., will be capable of producing about 30 percent of a home's daily energy use. The developments are being built in Eastvale, Chula Vista, Temecula, Lancaster, Santa Clarita, Chino, Valencia, and Lake Forest.
