Tomorrow, October 6, thousands of Americans will open their energy efficient, solar, wind and renewable energy powered homes and businesses to show their community how to incorporate energy saving technologies into their own lives.

Hundreds of local organizations in partnership with the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) are coordinating what has become the largest demonstration of installed renewable energy technologies and energy efficient building practices in the country, the National Solar Tour.

Most tours are scheduled on Saturday, October 6, 2007 with tours from September through November included. To find business and homes on display in your area click here.
