The largest renewable energy event in the U.S. just gained a powerful new partner. “ASES National Solar Tour gives people the opportunity to see how homeowners and businesses are benefiting from the many financial and environmental benefits of renewable energy. Attendees see systems working firsthand in their own communities and hear the enthusiasm of solar energy system owners. This is really the ideal venue for people interested in learning more about renewable energy or considering investing in a system themselves,” said Jyl Safier,Conergy’s Marketing Communications Manager. “Conergy is proud to sponsor this important event.”
The ASES National Solar Tour is now sponsored by Conergy, one of the largest renewable energy companies worldwide. Now in its 12th year, the National Solar Tour will introduce some 115,000 people across the U.S. to renewable energy technology and ways to reduce their monthly utility bills.
The National Solar Tour is anticipated to include 46 states this year, making this the largest event of its kind in the U.S. Tours are focused on current installations, giving neighbors an opportunity see, explore, and ask questions about the real world applications of renewable energy.
Most tours take place on October 6, 2007, though dates vary by location. A complete list of scheduled events may be found at www.NationalSolarTour.org
Conergy’s support offers a powerful endorsement for this rapidly growing event.
“ASES National Solar Tour gives people the opportunity to see how homeowners and businesses are benefiting from the many financial and environmental benefits of renewable energy.

This is really the ideal venue for people interested in learning more about renewable energy or considering investing in a system themselves,” said Jyl Safier, Conergy’s Marketing Communications Manager. “Conergy is proud to sponsor this important event.”
Not only will tours demonstrate passive and active solar technologies available today, but educational tools will be available to teach participants how to cut their energy bills with improved building techniques and appliance efficiency.
By focusing on this “close to home” education, the mystery of using solar and wind technology to power homes and buildings is erased, along with barriers to implementation and ownership. The best educators and advocates for the use of renewable energy are system owners themselves.
The National Solar Tour is organized by the American Solar Energy Society and supported by local organizations and hundreds of volunteers across the U.S.
