Largest Grassroots Solar and Sustainable Living Event in the Nation
Hosted by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) for over 28 years, the purpose of the National Solar Tour is to promote renewable energy awareness and increase the adoption of solar energy. The National Solar Tour centers around neighborhood discussions about solar, recommendations on installers, financing, local laws, and other considerations and hesitations around installing solar panels, purchasing electric vehicles, and instating energy efficiency upgrades.
