Array Development to have Solar Power
Modus Development is including solar panels on each of the town homes in their new Array townhouse development in south Scottsdale. The townhouses will meet LEED standards, and be some of the first to meet Scottsdale's new Green Building Standards. It's great to see builders, developers, and architects working to create modern dwellings that are environmentally conscious, offer great amenities and give people the opportunity to lower their carbon footprint in an easy way.
Solar energy needs to be utilized better, especially here in Arizona, where we have 300+ days of sunshine every year. It's really a no-brainer, and I don't know why people haven't jumped on this bandwagon sooner. With the introduction of pre-installed, standard solar panels on homes for the average person, maybe we'll see more and more people taking advantage of clean, cheap energy. I'm personally excited about the possibilities, and hope more builders follow suit in their housing communities.
