American Solar Energy Society (ASES), the nation’s foremost association of solar professionals and advocates, and Solar United Neighbors (SUN), the only organization in the U.S. committed to representing the requirements and interests of solar owners and clean energy supporters, have decided to conduct the 2020 edition of the National Solar Tour completely virtual. The decision to hold the biggest annual grassroots solar event virtually was taken in the light of the Coronavirus pandemic, making it unsafe for communities to physically come together. RSVP for tour here.
Taking place from September 28th – October 4th, 2020, on nationalsolartour.org, these events and tours are all to set to empower individuals to learn more about solar technology and the process of going solar from their neighbors and people nationwide, all from the safety of their home. This National Solar Tour week is going to display live programs focusing on schools, homes, businesses, electric vehicles, and community built by using solar energy. It will also feature virtual tours of solar and sustainable homes, schools, businesses, religious institutions, and much more.
