With assistance from Pennsylvania's $650 million Alternative Energy Investment Act, homeowners and business owners will soon have the ability to apply for loans, grants, and rebates to cover up to 35 percent of the costs for installing solar technology. For those interested in getting a glimpse of existing solar projects which generate zero emissions the 13th Annual National Solar Tour on October 4 will provide that opportunity in four communities across our state.
The nonprofit American Solar Energy Society (ASES) is bringing together more than 5,000 homeowners, public agencies and business people across the U. S. to introduce tens of thousands of citizens to money saving solar technologies, the largest grassroots solar event in the history of the U. S. Here in Pennsylvania there are four self guided tours: Chester County, Lehigh Valley, Pittsburgh, and Lancaster and YorkCounties.
The National Solar Tour features property owners who open their doors to neighbors to share how they are using the latest solar technologies to 1) drastically reduce monthly energy bills, 2) reduce harmful carbon emissions, and 3) enjoy tax credits and cash incentives as they improve their property values.
This event is open to the public. Details on the specific dates and times of tours across the nation are at: .
