ASES National Solar Tour Continues Through November

The American Solar Energy Society’s (ASES) 8th Annual National Solar Tour kicked off October 4, 2003, with more than 1,200 homes, businesses and public buildings open to visitors in 480 communities across the U.S. Participants had the opportunity to see first-hand the successful use of various forms of renewable energy including passive solar design, wind energy, solar hot water and solar-electric generating systems. Many local tours showcased a variety of buildings, such as traditional city and suburban homes with solar features, schools and business offices integrating passive solar design, solar hot water and solar-electric generating systems, and rural homes not connected to the public utility grid. Additional tours are being held through November. To find out about tours in your area, visit www.ases.org.
