2018 National Solar Tour of Homes largest in event’s history

It has become commonplace to hear that technology is ruining America’s sense of community. People will bittersweetly lament about the neighborhood they grew up in, while asking aloud what happened to that cul-de-sac community. One event, held nationwide, is attempting to break this loss in personal connection through technology: the National Solar Tour of Homes. “We’re all about neighbors connecting to each other,” said Anya Schoolman, the executive director of Solar United Neighbors. The National Solar Tour of Homes was created by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES). 2018 will mark the tour’s 23rd year and it’s largest pool of participants to date, as Schoolman shared that over 400 homeowners have signed up to give tours of their solar-powered homes.
