The solar panels were installed by PetersenDean Roofing and Solar Systems and two weeks ago a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the opening of the community to the public.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense#300--><\/p>\n<p>The companies say the deal will save homeowners money. Besides not having to spend about $30,000 to install the solar panels (the average market cost), SunRun says they can sign up for solar power for no free while service costs will be about $42 per month. That should represent a saving of $50 to $100, depending on the amount of power used. <\/p>\n<p> \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our goal for The Preserve is to not only make cost-effective solar power available to more homebuyers than ever before, but also to set a new standard for the home building industry,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Jim Boyd, regional president at Toll Brothers.  \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Homebuyers have shown overwhelming support for the solar option, and this initiative will save them thousands of dollars over the life of their homes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>SunRun owns, monitors, and maintains the solar equipment. The company says it is meeting a client demand as homeowners usually complain of the hassle of maintenance and upfront costs. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are working to eliminate these barriers for new home buyers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, says SunRun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s president Lynn Jurich.<br \/>\n<!--adsense--><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/martifer-solar-awarded-solar-project-in-jordan\/\" title=\"Martifer Solar awarded solar project in Jordan\">Martifer Solar awarded solar project in Jordan<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/solar-power-going-strong-in-the-u-s-says-new-report\/\" title=\"Solar Power Going Strong in the U.S., Says New Report\">Solar Power Going Strong in the U.S., Says New Report<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/california-hits-solar-power-milestone-2\/\" title=\"California Hits Solar Power Milestone\">California Hits Solar Power Milestone<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/california-hits-solar-power-milestone\/\" title=\"California Hits Solar Power Milestone\">California Hits Solar Power Milestone<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/new-report-says-alternative-energy-is-closer-to-grid-parity\/\" title=\"New Report Says Alternative Energy is Closer to Grid Parity\">New Report Says Alternative Energy is Closer to Grid Parity<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The residents of The Preserve in Yorba Linda in California will move into their 90-home community knowing that part of the energy they will be using is renewable.
