Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the National Solar Tour?
The National Solar Tour is considered to be the largest public renewable energy education event in the world. It is a self-guided tour of homes, businesses and other buildings with solar features including passive solar design, solar hot water and solar-electric generating systems. The Solar Tour is an excellent way to experience first-hand that solar energy really works on Long Island. You can learn about the benefits of solar and other forms of renewable energy, watch electric meters run backwards, see the actual savings on utility bills, and talk to the people who own these systems.
Where are the tour locations?
New sites are being added to the tour every day, all over Long Island, so there are bound to be locations near you. For a list of tour sites, go to http://www.renewableenergylongisland.org/tourguests.cfm to get your free Visitors Pass.

Is it ok for me to contact tour hosts?
Homes on this tour are owned and lived in by ordinary people who believe their homes have something extraordinary to share. That is why they have opened their doors voluntarily on this day.
