Concordia Homes Launches Solar-Powered Community in Nevada
Posted on: Monday, 25 February 2008, 09:01 CST
Southwest US-based homebuilder Concordia Homes has launched Sommerset Community, the first solar-powered residential development in Nevada to feature GE ecomagination-certified solar products, as a standard on every home.
Located in Henderson, near Las Vegas, Sommerset Community will debut in March 2008 and feature solar-powered homes that meet standards inspired by GE's ecomagination homebuilder program.
The ecomagination homebuilder program is a blueprint for environment-friendly homes that helps residential developers and builders deliver homes that are more efficient in their energy and indoor water consumption than conventional homes. The program is a collaboration between GE and Masco Contractor Services Group, a manufacturer of home improvement and building products.
Every home at Sommerset will include a roof-integrated GE Energy Brilliance solar electric system. These systems are designed to supply years of maintenance-free operation and seamlessly blend into the profile of the concrete roof tile. Each system will generate approximately 4,400kWh per year.
In addition to the solar panels, each home at Sommerset will feature a GE SmartCommand EnviroDashboard, an interactive display that provides homeowners with current and historic feedback on electricity and indoor water consumption.
