West Melbourne, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2013
LifeStyle Homes, Inc. of West Melbourne, FL – the area’s leading builder of solar-powered homes – is proud to announce a new partnership with SolarCity (Nasdaq: SCTY), America’s No. 1 full-service solar power provider. This partnership will enable Central Florida homeowners to harvest the sun’s clean and abundant energy to power their homes for less than the typical cost of energy from the utility company.
Under this partnership, SolarCity will install and maintain high-performance rooftop solar systems for LifeStyle homebuyers who opt in to clean power. Each solar system will be custom designed to maximize energy production, and may help homeowners save thousands of dollars by locking in the cost of solar power at a lower rate than they currently pay for utility power. SolarCity offers insurance and repairs for all systems through the duration of a homeowner’s 20-year pre-paid lease, as well as a guarantee of energy production. Homeowners can track their solar system’s performance through a personalized MySolarCity web portal, giving them direct access to view their solar energy production online.
“The LifeStyle team is thrilled to team up with SolarCity to make it even easier for local homeowners to live in a solar-powered home,” says Jordan Luhn, CEO of LifeStyle Homes. “Not only does this partnership make it truly affordable for homeowners to go solar, it once again solidifies LifeStyle’s commitment to clean energy.”
The LifeStyle Homes-SolarCity partnership is an ideal pairing for Florida’s Space Coast. LifeStyle Homes developed the components of its extremely energy-efficient SunSmart℠ homes with the assistance of the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) in Cocoa, FL.
“We’re excited to bring the sun’s benefits directly to Florida’s Space Coast with LifeStyle Homes,” said Walter Cuculic, SolarCity’s national manager of Builder Programs. “Not only is the sun our most abundant natural resource, but solar power can help homebuyers save money on energy costs while also protecting the environment.”
LifeStyle’s first model home powered by SolarCity will be a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,289 square-foot St. Croix model (with pool) located in the new Pineda Springs community in Melbourne, FL. The home will use a 6.5 kW system to produce a near net-zero performance. Those interested in learning more about this home can contact (321) 727-8188.
LifeStyle Homes is making SolarCity solar systems available to every new homebuyer in its communities. For more information, please visit http://www.BuildingALifeStyle.com.
