National Solar Tour
Each year in October KySES members organize local Solar Tours in conjunction with the American Solar Energy Society's National Solar Tour. Recent years have seen Solar Tours in Louisville, Lexington, Frankfort, Berea, and other places. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the KySES board is currently evaluating how to proceed with Solar Tours this year. We will post updates as more information becomes available.
