Grand Opening of Futuristic Home in Lancaster

The City of Lancaster; Chinese battery and solar technology manufacturer BYD; and residential construction company KB Home, announced the completion of a new earth-friendly prototype home in West Lancaster. The futuristic home located at KB Home’s Alamosa community, was unveiled during a grand opening ceremony July 13. It features BYD’s solar, battery and LED Lighting systems, state-of-the-art technology that will potentially lead to more affordable solar electricity and energy storage options for Americans across the country, according to the company. KB Home began construction on the home in late March in association with BYD. The City of Lancaster waived all local municipal development fees for the project and fast-tracked it through the approval process, allowing construction to begin almost immediately. This home and four other KB Home model homes at Alamosa are now open to the public daily for tours.
