More than 50 residents throughout the county, from Chula Vista to Oceanside and out to Julian, opened their homes to their neighbors and others during the San Diego Solar Homes Tour held on Saturday, Oct. 3. CCSE joined with the American Solar Energy Society to sponsor the tenth annual tour that showcased local homes with solar PV, water heating and pool heating systems.
The tour was self-guided, with participants locating solar homes near them on an interactive Google solar map. Homes were open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., during which time visitors spoke with homeowners and installers about their experiences in going solar, system performance and energy savings. The enthusiasm among homeowners was fantastic, with people calling with offers to open their home right up to the day before the tour.
CCSE salutes the homeowners who served as solar ambassadors and thanks the installers who gave their time to answer questions and explain the benefits of solar.
