Home Builder Grows Its Solar Options

From Daily Real Estate News, June 7, 2010

PulteGroup, the nation’s largest home builder, is selling homes in 10 communities that offer solar as a standard or an option, according to Walter Cuculic, the company’s director of sustainability.

“With solar more affordable than ever before, tax credits available for purchasing solar options, and the ability to roll the cost into a home mortgage, solar is a great investment for new home buyers looking to hedge against rising energy costs,” Cuculic says.

So far, all of the Pulte solar communities have been west of the Mississippi, but in June, Pulte will introduce a community in New Jersey.

Typically solar options range in price from $14,000 to $25,000, before local incentives, rebates and tax credits, says Matt Brost, general manager of new homes division for the SunPower Corp.

The typical Pulte solar customer is between the ages of 29 and 45 and committed to doing the environmentally correct thing, the company says.
