Host Comments:
My motivation is to produce pollution free energy and reduce my utility bill. I hope to become energy independent and have my own water supply in the event of water supply shortage.
Solar Tour Etiquette Tour hosts have opened their homes and business to share their renewable energy and conservation efforts with the public free of charge. Visitors are guests, please be courteous and polite. Tour hours are generally 10am -4pm. Please don’t arrive early or late. Tour hours may vary at some sites so it is a good idea to check the DFW Solar Tour website to confirm visiting hours before you get started. There are no public restroom facilities at tour sites. Practice the Golden Rule and everything will work out great.
