Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in stepping up to host a tour of the sustainable features of your home! As a Sustainability Tour Host, you’ll have the chance to share your story with neighbors to promote solar adoption and sustainable living.
What do you have to do?
Show visitors the solar and sustainable features of your home or business, share your planning and installation experiences first-hand, and walk visitors through the cost-savings of sustainable practices and choices that may fit their needs. You can join the tour in-person, virtually, or both - it’s up to you how you’d like to share! The in-person tour will be held October 4 - 6 from 10am-4pm (but you are not obligated to host your site for this entire duration). Click here for some tips on hosting an in-person tour. To host virtually, you may film and upload a video walking viewers through your tour on your own time.
