Two families in Glendale, Arizona will begin saving money on their utility bills with solar technology in the coming weeks. Arizona-based American Solar Electric has donated equipment and installation services for two grid-tied solar electric (photovoltaic) systems to Habitat for Humanity Valley of the Sun.

Installed in early June, the systems are comprised of Kaneka thin-film silicon 60-watt panels which offer high performance under high temperatures. Electricity generated by the solar electric systems will be used to offset utility power, thereby reducing the cost of electricity for the new homeowners. Each system will produce over 2,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.

"Our contribution today seems small compared to those that donated significant time and money to build the homes," said Sean Seitz, President of American Solar Electric. "We're proud to help the new homeowners. Undoubtedly they will recognize a significant contribution to their personal finances for years to come from the energy savings they obtain with their new solar electric systems."

"Habitat for Humanity Valley of the Sun is pleased to partner with American Solar," said Roger Schwierjohn, President and CEO of Habitat.

"This partnership allows Habitat to continue the efforts to be an environmentally friendly builder and make our homes more affordable for families. Because of the generosity of American Solar, Habitat is once again able to progress in our efforts to be a responsible home builder."

A dedication was held to celebrate the completion of the homes. Both families are thrilled to be first-time homeowners.
