In-Person and Virtually Across the Nation Throughout the Year

Hosted by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), the purpose of the National Solar Tour is to promote renewable energy awareness and increase the adoption of solar energy. Celebrating it’s 30th anniversary this year, 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.
