The Illinois Solar Tour is a FREE PUBLIC EVENT to demonstrate how home and business owners are utilizing solar, wind, geothermal, passive solar design, and energy efficiency to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and be energy independent.

Tours will be provided by Renewable Energy Installers, Homeowners, and ISEA Docents, so you can be sure to have a quality experience and hear multiple perspectives.

This is your opportunity to explore different types of renewable energy installations and technologies, to learn about the possibilities for your own home and/or business, and ask questions.


 

FREE Solar Tour Guidebooks are available in the September issue of Mindful Metropolis which can be found in over 600 locations throughout Chicagoland.  It is also available online at Mindful Metropolis and the IL Solar Tour website.
