21st Annual Metro Washington DC Tour of Solar Homes & Buildings

About The Tour

Thanks for your interest in the 2011 Tour of Solar Homes and Buildings. The tour will be October 1-2, with a remarkable variety of solar design, technology and sustainable living concepts illustrated in over 50 homes.

Each touring day has a variety of unique educational opportunities to put a true environmental "spin" on your experience. All 50 of the solar tour homes will be listed in your tour guide.

Your tour guide is both your map and "passport" to gain entry to the homes on the tour. The guide has descriptions, features and directions to each home as well as helpful information, articles on solar home installation, grants, incentives as well as ads from the best area installers in the Washington DC area.

Get Your Tour Guides!

Tour guides are available for $5.00 at all area MOMs My Organic Market stores, Summer Delights, the Greenbelt Coop and the Bike and Roll Bikestation at Union Station. Visit the Get Your Tour Guide page for locations.

The Tour Guide will also be available for FREE as a PDF downloadable file, although it's a large file at 12.6 MBs. Download the guide here.
