From geothermal heat pumps using the earth as a huge thermal buffer to wind turbines elegantly spinning in the breeze and the many incarnations of solar energy between earth and sky, this event offers local residents an opportunity to find out how their neighbors are trimming their energy bills, increasing their energy independence, and taking steps to address global warming. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in solar and other renewable energies to view installations and talk with building owners, builders, architects, and planners about their experiences. We invite you to join us on the next Minnesota Solar Tour! See renewable energy technology in action, and meet people who have learned from experience. Get Involved! Put Your Site on the Tour If you have installed a solar electric, solar hot water, passive or active solar hot air, ground-source heat, and/or wind energy system at your home or business and would like to have your site in the Solar Tour, we invite you to apply to be a site. If you have questions, please submit a Contact Us form with your questions. Take the Tour See the 2010 Tour sites here, login to see the addresses.
