About the ASES National Solar Tour

The ASES National Solar Tour is the largest solar energy event in the world.  While energy prices continue to soar, this event offers participants the opportunity to tour homes and buildings to see how neighbors are using solar energy, energy efficiency, and other sustainable technologies to reduce their monthly utility bills and help tackle climate change.

Last year more than 115,000 attendees visited some 5,000 buildings in 2,900 participating communities.  Now in its 13th year, this event is coordinated nationally by the nonprofit American Solar Energy Society.  It takes place annually during the first Saturday in October in conjunction with National Energy Awareness Month.

An increasing focus of the tour is on energy-saving techniques and sustainability through building design, energy efficient appliances, and use of green materials during remodeling.  Tours also provide helpful, real-world examples of costs and how to save money with federal, state, and local incentives.

Ultimately the tour inspires people across the nation to make sustainable energy choices that help lower costs, support energy independence, protect against power outages, and reduce carbon emissions.  We invite you to join the renewable energy revolution by participating in the ASES National Solar Tour.
