Local Solar Power Homes Open For Public Tours In San Diego, California Communities.

More than a dozen solar-powered homes are opening their doors to the public on Saturday -10-1-2011 to highlight the latest in sun-powered innovation and economic savings.

The self guided tour, at mostly residential properties from Ocean Beach to Poway is put on by the nonprofit San Diego Renewable Energy Society with support from homeowners and business sponsors. The locations also feature grid-tied solar applications for commercial spaces.

Experts in solar technology, installations and financing will be available among the 16 sites. For addresses, maps and more details, visit sdres.org/solartour. The tour includes a promotion for the Boundless Energy children's exhibit at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. Solar Tour programs, distributed at each site includes a flier good for two for one admission to the aquarium.

With dropping solar module costs and rising energy cost, there is much more of an economic incentive. Today's 10A.M, to 2P.M. tour is part of early October 2011 home tours across the country organized the the American Solar Energy Society. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
