The National Solar Tour is the largest grassroots solar, renewable energy, and sustainable living showcase event in the United States. This year, the main showcase weekend takes place from October 4-6, with hundreds of solar tours and open houses across the country offering a unique opportunity to explore how and why people in communities across the country are adopting solar energy and sustainable living practices.
