From Earthtimes.org – Centex Homes, a home building company, is installing Sharp provided 2.1 kilowatt solar cell system in 89 new homes in a new community north of Naples, FL called The Quarry.

“Centex is committed to balancing land conservation with responsible development, and The Quarry is being built on that principal,” said Tim Ruemler, president of Centex Homes of Southwest Florida. “We are proud to take the lead in building homes equipped with solar power and encourage other developers to follow suit in bringing the long term benefits of solar to homeowners. We each need to do our part in supporting renewable energy and reduce our reliance on oil. If we focus on solving our energy needs with sustainable products such as solar, the overall impacts will be positive for everyone.”
