2023 Illinois Solar Tour
The Illinois Solar Education Association's 2023 Solar Tour is scheduled for Saturday, September 30th from 10 AM to 3 PM! Sign up to be a host site!
What is the Solar Tour?
The Illinois Solar Tour is part of a nationwide event held in conjunction with the American Solar Energy Society, of which the Illinois Solar Education Association (ISEA) is a state chapter. The purpose of the Tour is to offer the public the opportunity to visit - for free and without any sales pressure - innovative green homes and buildings to see how solar energy can be used efficiently. The intent of the Tour is to inspire people across the state to make sustainable energy choices that reduce costs, support energy independence, protect against power outages, and reduce carbon emissions.
The 2023 Solar Tour is available in a hybrid format, offering both in-person and video tours. Please check individual sites to see which types of tours are offered.
Types of Tours:
- In-Person: The home or business owner will be there to talk about their installation and answer questions; may or may not include going inside to see equipment
- Video: The home or business owner filmed a video tour of their system, which is viewable online
- Walk-By Solar Home: The home or business owner will not be available to greet visitors; visitors can view the system from the outside
