SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SunPower Corp.
(NASDAQ:SPWR), a leading solar technology and energy services
provider, and The New Home Company (NEW HOME), a top 50 homebuilder
focused on creating a new generation of innovative homes, today
announced that NEW HOME is making solar systems, battery storage
and at-home electric vehicle (EV) chargers standard features in its
newest community, Eureka Grove.
All 72 homes in the Granite Bay,
California community will include a SunPower Equinox®
rooftop solar system, 13 kWh SunVault™ energy storage system
and Wallbox (NYSE:WBX) Pulsar Plus EV charger, creating a
comprehensive energy management solution for the modern homebuyer.
With solar and storage, homeowners can generate electricity from
their roofs, deploy stored energy during utility peak times when
rates are the highest, and power essential loads during an outage.
Homeowners can also leverage solar systems to power their Wallbox
EV chargers, making charging more convenient and sustainable.
"The New Home Company is creating communities fit for the
future, providing residents energy savings and peace of mind," said
Matt Brost, Senior Director of New
Homes sales for SunPower. "The obvious combination of solar,
storage and EV charging is the future of new home communities
nationwide, providing homeowners with convenience and the ability
to make a positive impact on the planet."
SunPower Equinox systems generate more power in less space with
fewer visible parts than conventional solar systems. SunVault
batteries are made with lithium iron phosphate chemistry, which is
designed to be safer and more resilient to heat and oxygen exposure
than typical lithium-ion batteries. SunPower is a preferred
installation provider for Wallbox and will manage the home EV
charger installation in the Eureka Grove community. Wallbox's
Pulsar Plus chargers come with a standard J1772 EV plug, an app
allowing scheduled charging, and power sharing for two or more
chargers with adjustable current output, making them a fit for all
EV models.
After moving in, Eureka Grove residents can power their home
with solar, have backup with battery storage, and charge their
vehicle without adding pressure on the grid. Homes with these
features are available for purchase today and come equipped with
additional tech-forward and environment-friendly features including
energy-efficient appliances and vinyl dual-pane windows for
improved insulation.
"Technology enhances homes and contributes to a modern
lifestyle. Innovations like built-in solar and storage can have a
lasting impact on families when it comes to reliability and
affordability," said Kevin
Carson, NEW HOME president, Northern California. "Our first solar, storage
and EV-ready neighborhood is a milestone for the company and we
look forward to replicating the teamwork between energy services
and architecture across future communities with SunPower to design
today's homes for tomorrow's needs."
