Solar Tour to see panels in Ohio
Recently, we’ve learned of a number of solar tours going on across the United States. In communities large and small, people are hopping on a bus and touring green and solar homes in their hometown.
I think there is no better way than to showcase solar homes for interested people to get more to consider switching to solar energy. So, with this in mind, let’s highlight another solar tour, in Ohio! On Saturday and Sunday, October 3 and 4, a free event will take place across the state. Simply visit the site and click on what you would like to see. Four guided tours will be offered, depending on your location.
That’s right – this weekend, Duke Energy has teamed up with Green Energy Ohio to encourage use of solar power in the Tri-State area. In Hamilton County alone, there are more than 20 sites that feature clean energy technologies. Many more are on the way, which will be a significant boost to the local economies and can bring more green jobs to Ohio. According to the executive director of Green Energy Ohio, Bill Sprately:
“Solar can work, wind can work here in Ohio and the best way to do that is to have a tour that shows people in Cincinnati the few folks that have stepped up to the plate. And we think as the costs come down, this can become a real industry and go forward.”
