About this event
Explore solar! View renewable energy systems in action and learn what it is like to be powered by the sun! The Illinois Solar Tour is a FREE, self-guided, statewide open house that shows how Illinois homes and businesses are using solar, wind, and geothermal to become energy independent. Visit www.illinoissolartour.org to find a site near you!
Stop by some of the 93 sites to learn about the solar technologies your neighbors are using to 1) drastically reduce monthly energy bills, 2) reduce harmful carbon emissions, and 3) enjoy tax credits and financial incentives as they improve their property values.
The tour will allow communities across the country the opportunity to see new, innovative technologies locally that benefit the environment globally. You can see real-life examples of how individuals are harnessing free energy from the sun to generate electricity, warm and cool their homes, heat water and slash monthly utility bills. Tour hosts will answer questions on how you too can harness the power of the sun and wind to fuel your home and business.
“The Illinois Solar Tour showcases real life examples of the practical, economic, and environmental benefits of using clean power to fuel our everyday lives,” says Lesley McCain, Executive Director of the Illinois Solar Energy Association, the local tour sponsor. “Now is a particularly exciting time for solar energy in Illinois as Springfield legislators consider clean jobs legislation that would boost opportunities across Illinois’ cities, suburbs, and farmlands.”
This Tour is free and open to the public. With over 90 locations throughout Illinois, a Solar Tour host site is near you. Stop in to see how solar energy can brighten your life!
