Local Homes and the 2024 National Solar Tour

Sep 30, 2024 08:40AM ● By Bernice Butler

Hosted by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) for more than 29 years, the National Solar Tour is the largest grassroots solar and sustainable living event in the nation, promoting renewable energy awareness and the adoption of solar energy from October 4 through 6. It features neighborhood discussions about solar, recommendations on installers, financing, local laws and other considerations and around installing solar panels, purchasing electric vehicles and energy efficiency upgrades.

Among the DFW highlights is the Westbrook House, in Fairview, a nearly 30-year-old solar home that remains a model of energy efficiency. This home features a geothermal energy system, structural insulated panels and both passive and active solar elements. Other DFW area homes participating in the tour include the Byrom House, in Irving, showcasing a variety of sustainable technologies and energy-efficient designs.
