Historically, the tour offers people the opportunity to visit innovative green homes and buildings to see how they can use solar energy, energy efficiency, and other sustainable technologies to reduce monthly utility bills and help reduce their impact on precious resources like air, water and energy.
What is the difference between the ASES National Solar Tour and the NTREG DFW Solar Tour?
The North Texas Renewable Energy Group is a local organizer of the ASES National Solar Tour. Think of NTREG as a local franchise of ASES.

How will this event promote solar/renewable and energy efficiency in Texas?
The DFW Solar Tour is organized to educate the public on energy conservation, solar, wind, geothermal, and other renewable energy options available to homeowners and businesses by allowing them to virtually see operating installations and talk to the homeowners about their experiences and level of satisfaction. In some locations tour participants will also be able to speak with vendors and installers and ask specific questions. In addition, homes on the tour will be chosen to provide examples of energy-efficient renovations, green/sustainable design, and the use of green materials during construction or remodeling so that tour participants can get an idea of the variety of green options available to them.
