Keeney Estates is an ideal setting for using solar energy. With its south facing slopes, the potential is great for capturing the sun's rays and converting to energy, saving the homeowner money and saving the earth's natural resources. There are also other financial savings for using renewable energy sources in building your home at Keeney Estates, including state and federal tax credits. Some resources are listed below that have a wealth of information on this subject.
