Ardiente Las Vegas is a Solar City

Ardiente is an active adult community in North Las Vegas that takes solar power seriously.

New residents should not have to pay a dime for electricity for 10 years, unless they have a heated pool. Features include:

Solar Modules: Solar panels are typically installed on or built into your roof. The panels are made with photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.

Inverter: The DC electricity from the solar panels is sent to an inverter, where it is converted into standard alternating current (AC) electricity used in your home.

Electrical Panel: The AC electricity travels from the inverter to the electrical panel, or breaker box. This power is now ready to use in your home.

Utility Meter: The utility mater continually measures your electrical supply. When your solar system is producing more power than your family can immediately use, and your meter literally spins backward!

SolarGuard Monitoring: SolarGuard allows you and SolarCity to monitor key performance variables on your system and make sure it is producing electricity at optimal performance. You can track your system’s production anytime through your online account.

Utility Grid: You are still connected the utility grid. This ensures that you can always draw electricity whenever your family is using more electricity than your solar system is producing, such as at night.

SolarGuard: SolarGuard allows you and SolarCity to continuously monitor the performance of your solar  system through your online SolarGuard account. SolarGuard continuously tracks your system’s key performance metrics and displays how much enegy your system is producing throughout the day, month, week and year. It also calculates your lifetime financial savings and environmental benefits. You can check your system production at anytime from your online SolarGuard account or even from your iPhone, Blackberry or other Internet-enabled device.

Rapid Response to System Issues: The SolarCity service team keeps an eye on your system output to ensure that it is performing as it should. In the unlikely event that your system underperforms, SolarCity will alert you, help to diagnose the issue, and dispatch a repair crew if necessary.

Maximize Energy Production: The value of your solar system is derived from the amount of electricity it produces. SolarCity’s proactive SolarCity Monitoring Service ensures that you can get the most out of your investment by quickly identifying issues to keep your system generation electricity at full capacity.

Ardiente Las Vegas is one of the most energy efficient of the active adult communities.
