Homebuilder G.J. Gardner Colorado has entered an agreement with Vibrant Solar Inc. to offer solar photovoltaic systems on all new homes, as well as a complete Zero Carbon System.
The average Zero Carbon System, trademarked by Vibrant this year, has 5 kilowatts of solar photovoltaic panels for electricity; a geothermal system for heating and cooling; a solar thermal system for hot water; and energy controllers to reduce electricity consumption.
Utility-company rebates and federal tax credits help offset the cost of the system. The homebuyer also earns 30 percent in federal tax credits. Margaret Jackson, The Denver Post
