Dozens of Madison area homes and businesses will be open for public tours during the state-side solar tour, October 3-4.

The tour demonstrates that renewable energy is practical, reliable and a realistic choice for home and business owners. Tour sites are owned, lived in, and worked in by ordinary people. They are helping others open the door to renewable energy.
