About The Tour

Thanks for your interest in the 2010 Tour of Solar Homes and Buildings. The tour will cover two days, with a remarkable variety of solar design, technology and sustainable living concepts illustrated in over 70 homes.

The 2010 tour will be the first weekend in October. Visit again for more details. If you would like to sponsor the tour or put your home in the next tour visit our Contact Us page.

Each touring day has a variety of unique educational opportunities to put a true environmental "spin" on your experience. All the solar tour homes will be listed in your tour guide. Your tour guide will be both your map and "passport" to gain entry to the sites on the tour. The guide will have descriptions, features and directions to each home as well as helpful information on installing a system in your home.

2010 Tour Guides will be available throughout the Washington Metropolitan area for $5.00 per household and downloadable for free from this site. See the Get Your Tour Guides page for more information.
