BOULDER, Colo., July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Solar Energy Society (ASES) is inviting solar installers to get involved in the 26th annual National Solar Tour. This largest annual grassroots solar event will take place virtually and in neighborhoods across the country the weekend of October 2-3, 2021 but you can host a Tour anytime of the year and be featured on the NST map. The ASES National Solar Tour is a collection of Local Solar Tours, as well as standalone Solar Sites. It is an opportunity for local solar enthusiasts to come together and share their unique solar story with others.

The National Solar Tour helps to spread solar contagion, where homes, businesses, schools, and other organizations across the country open their doors, yards and roofs to others who are looking to learn more about how they can utilize renewable energy to save money and the planet. It is about neighbors talking to each other about solar, energy efficiency, other sustainable upgrades, financing, recommendations on installers, local laws or issues. It's also an opportunity to connect in person or virtually, locally or globally.

Join the National Solar Tour and promote your company by hosting your own Local Solar Tour!
Hosting a Local Solar Tour only takes 3 steps:

Sign-up your Local Solar Tour - Choose whether you would like to showcase your Tour, in-person, virtually, or a hybrid event.
Recruit your happy customers who have gone solar to record a video, shoot a photo Tour or host an in-person event. Use our Solar Installer Toolkit to find resources and an email template.
You or your hosts fill out the Solar Site as Part of a Local Solar Tour form - Select the Local Solar Tour name from the drop down list. Virtual Solar Sites will upload their photos and videos on the form.

The National Solar Tour team will generate a Tour webpage for your company with the information you filled out on the sign up form and the Solar Sites your customers create! All Local Solar Tour and Solar Sites have until August 15th to sign up but the sooner you sign up your Tour the more promotion time you get.
