OMAHA, USA: Ready Solar Inc., the company that created the solar-in-a-box industry, announced today that its SOLAR IN A BOX will be the solar PV system option for the new i-house available now from Clayton Homes.
The i-house, the housing industry’s first green, affordable manufactured housing, was featured at the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska on May 2 and exhibited at Omaha’s Qwest Center. Clayton Homes, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, is the nation’s leading home builder.
SOLAR IN A BOXTM from Ready Solar will be pre-installed at the factory for i-house buyers who order the solar option at the time of purchase or can be ordered later as on after market installation. Kevin Clayton, Clayton Homes CEO, stated, “Green and building energy efficiency into every Clayton home has become a passion for us. Providing our home buyer with the option of including solar power seemed natural.”
With Ready Solar’s turnkey, all-AC solar rooftop system, components are pre-engineered and pre-assembled. The same electricians who wire any house can install the system with no special proficiencies required. SOLAR IN A BOX cuts installation time of solar systems by more than half.
Bob Giles, CEO of Ready Solar, said: 'Clayton Homes is taking a major step toward the greening of American homes with the i–house. Our role is to provide Clayton Homes and the homebuilding industry with the easiest and most cost-effective way to install solar power systems. As solar adoption increases and homebuilding moves toward economic recovery, Ready Solar will help open the multi-billion solar industry to general contractors, electrical contractors, homebuilders and other trades-people with basic electrical skills. We are delighted to provide the solar option for Clayton Homes."
