Usually held in October, Kentucky Solar Tours are organized in conjunction with the National Solar Tour, organized by the American Solar Energy Society. During Solar Tours participants tour existing solar installations to see how Kentucky families and businesses are harnessing the energy from the sun to generate electricity, warm and cool their homes, heat water, charge their electric cars, and slash monthly utility bills. Each tour offers in-depth information and direct perspectives from homeowners, businesses and solar installers about the costs, processes and economic and environmental benefits of going solar. Tours provide an overview of how well solar works in Kentucky, the financial value of solar and real life examples of solar in action in our communities. Tours often include opportunities to socialize and meet installers.
