A Developer Builds in Solar Power

HERE’S an idea: Buy a house, and make money off the investment. Guaranteed. So long as the sun keeps coming up.

Installers with the Solar Center arrange photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Riverwalk Commons apartment building in New Brunswick, N.J.

That is the pitch being made at River Pointe, an age-restricted community in Manchester where PulteGroup Inc. is installing, as a standard feature in each house, solar technology that earns energy credits.

PulteGroup, a company based in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., is not the only builder offering solar-equipped homes in New Jersey. But it is among the first to start offering solar units as a standard feature in every house in a development, and to tot up the ways that buyers can earn as much as $30,000 over 15 years."
